Does Orange County Have an Identity Crisis?
If So, What Can We Do About It?

Just what is “Orange County?” Does the world see us through the lens of “The OC,” or “The Desperate Housewives of OC?” Are we merely the suburb lining the freeways between Los Angeles and San Diego? Why do the Los Angeles-based media ignore Orange County until a car chase spills across “the Orange County line” or some notorious dastardly deed occurs which can’t be ignored? Consider: Orange County has 34 cities but no central core. Our county is divided into 5 districts, but has no top executive representing the entire county. We have 13 identified business clusters, but are not known for anything particularly unique except, perhaps, tourism. If we were a single mid-west city, we would have at least 5 local TV stations, several radio stations and as many newspapers reporting on our daily news. So, who are we? How do others see us? How do we want them to see us? Orange County’s finest will explore these questions in what promises to be a lively, thought-provoking and entertaining debate – one in which the audience is encouraged to participate!
