SCDF Mission
The mission of the Southern California Development Corporation is to provide leaders in the real estate community: 1) an opportunity to learn about development trends, issues and challenges, and 2) a chance to meet informally with their peers to share ideas and open doors to new opportunities in the marketplace.
History of the Association
The Southern California Development Forum (SCDF) was founded in 1982 by William Feathers of Feathers Consulting to provide the real estate community with an opportunity to informally network with representatives from every discipline within the public and private community, to share up-to-date industry information, and to foster employment opportunities. Originally entitled the Valley Development Breakfast Club, it changed to Valley Development Forum, then ultimately to the Southern California Development Forum to meet the needs of a broader base of industry members.
The SCDF continues to advance its original values. Monthly breakfast program speakers are industry leaders who bring in-depth and topical information to keep our members current. Our networking sessions continue to encourage referrals and teaming arrangements to this day!
