San Diego Mayor Bob Filner will be the first guest at the San Diego Press Club’s Newsmakers2013 breakfast series at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, at the New School of Architecture and Design, 1249 F Street, in downtown San Diego. The event will be moderated by NBC 7 San Diego political reporter Gene Cubbison, host of the station’s Politically Speaking program.
Filner, who took office in December, is expected to elaborate on some of his priorities in 2013 and take questions from the press and public who are welcome to attend. The cost is $10 for San Diego Press Club members and students and $15 for others. There is limited seating, so reservations are required at sdpressclub@cox.net
Throughout the year Newsmakers2013 will feature a prominent speaker who is making news in San Diego and wishes to discuss his or her ideas, plans and projects.
“San Diego has such a wealth of talent and leadership that we hope the Newsmakers series will offer an engaging, lively opportunity to explore many areas important to the local and global community,” said San Diego Press Club president, Jill Esterbrooks.
Newsmakers2013 will be scheduled on the last Thursday of each month.
