Jenna Saucedo-Herrera of San Antonio Economic Development Foundation

There’s a common perception that San Antonio is a sleepy little town—humdrum and boring, with no brand, no personality, and no identity—that loses too much of its talent to Austin. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth, as Jenna Saucedo-Herrera well knows. After all, during her three-year tenure at the helm of San Antonio’s economic development team, SAEDF has secured over thirteen thousand jobs for our community from projects that include EY, Victory Capital, Booz Allen Hamilton, Hulu, OKIN BPS, The Hut Group, and TJX.

Jenna Saucedo-Herrera joined the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation (SAEDF) as president and chief executive officer in 2016. In this capacity, she is responsible for advancing the diversification and growth of the San Antonio regional economy through domestic and international business development, workforce development, partnerships and market strategies.

We are thrilled that Saucedo-Herrera will be joining us this month to discuss the reality of San Antonio’s economic growth and development. She’ll be sharing recent SAEDF wins and 2019 activities, as well as her view of San Antonio’s future.
 

This event will take place @ the Plaza Club @ 100 W. Houston St. Suite 2100 in San Antonio. 

If you self-park for this event in the parking garage @ 100 W Houston St., we will validate your parking.
