Thanks to speakers Jim Beck, Kern County Water Agency, who spotlighted current and future water issues; Ray Pruitt, Kern County Sheriff's Office, who pointed out ways that the business community can help prevent crimes; and Duane Keathley, CB Richard Ellis, who focused on the growth and development within the industrial and commercial real estate sector.
