Question: How should centres interact with their communities and report performance to owners and stakeholders?
San Diego Principles • Work in a highly collaborative manner with stakeholder and interests groups alike; venture away from familiar stakeholders and form relationships with groups that on the surface may not appear to be stakeholders
San Diego Principles • Be transparent in communicating both good and bad news; and • Develop very clear goals and expectations. And then, report those goals in a clear and straightforward fashion.
Key Stakeholders: • The Mayor, City Council members and key city bureaucrats, who technically own the facility, and provide us with yearly funding; • Key city interest groups - some affiliated with the tourism industry, some not; • The general public; and • The media
City Elected Officials SUBSIDY INVESTMENT
General Interest Groups Strong political institutions have broad bases of support.
In the end… • Investment Increase from City to Convention Center • Sales and Marketing Responsibilities • Good Will and Support
