The annual Silver SPUR Awards Luncheon is San Francisco’s largest and most important civic event of the year. Over 2,000 people will pay tribute to five people who make our city and region a better place to live and work.

Angela Glover Blackwell has more than three decades of experience working to make public policies more fair and inclusive of all people. Blackwell is the founder and president of PolicyLink, a national research and action institute that advances economic and social equity. With Blackwell's vision and leadership, PolicyLink has become a leading policy voice, particularly in the areas of health, housing, transportation, education and infrastructure. An accomplished attorney, author and sought after national commentator, Blackwell has served on many boards, including the Urban Institute and The James Irvine Foundation. Prior to founding PolicyLink, Blackwell oversaw Rockefeller Foundation's Domestic and Cultural divisions as Senior Vice President. Currently, she serves on the boards of the Children's Defense Fund, Levi Strauss and Co., and the Corporation for Enterprise Development. Blackwell holds a law degree from the UC Berkeley.

Dick Blum's long-time commitment to San Francisco is exemplified by his founding of the Mayor's Fiscal Advisory Committee (MFAC) over 30 years ago. MFAC has served every mayor since, providing private-sector expertise to solve pressing problems for City departments. Of equal service statewide, Blum is helping lead the UC system through tumultuous times, as chairman and now member of the UC Board of Regents. Involved for more than 50 years with the Haas Business School, Blum received the Berkeley Medal in 2009, the campus's highest honor. His philanthropy is epitomized in his founding and 30 years of dedication to the American Himalayan Foundation, building schools, health clinics, housing and water systems in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan and India. His passion for civic activism is paralleled by his activist investments that emphasize adding value to companies he acquires and sells through Blum Capital Partners LP (1975), a $3 billion fund. He has played a substantial role with numerous other firms including URS Corporation, Newbridge Capital LLC, now part of TPG Capital, and CB Richard Ellis.

Joyce M. Corrigan & Robert A. Corrigan have worked as a team for more than 35 years. Their joint legacy and synergy are best evidenced at San Francisco State University, where Robert has served as president since 1988, and Joyce has served in a strategic role building the community and alumni community since his appointment. Upon the occasion of their 20th anniversary at SF State, the Corrigan's founded the Robert and Joyce Corrigan SF Promise Endowed Scholarship Fund to ensure that higher education is within reach for all public school children in San Francisco. Joyce has also served the City & County of San Francisco as Deputy Chief of Protocol under Mayor Frank Jordan, and Film Commissioner for 7 years. Her prior university faculty positions in American literature and theater led to her deep involvement in the city's arts organizations. Robert's leadership roles in higher education and service- learning organizations nationwide, as well as in the business world, represent a lifelong dedication to civic engagement and the application of university expertise to community issues.

Dean Macris served as the City Planning Director for the City and County of San Francisco from 1980-1992, and again as Interim City Planning Director from 2004– 2007. Working under four mayors, his planning expertise guided San Francisco's planning renaissance, and set urban design and development standards that other cities throughout the country have emulated. Milestones under his leadership include the Downtown Plan and the Plan for Mission Bay. Responsible for planning much of San Francisco's recent growth, Macris has been recognized for his integrity and his advocacy of opening up the planning process to citizens and communities. Previously a director at the Association of Bay Area Governments and an Assistant Commissioner of Planning in Chicago from 1965-1968, he has also played a formative role on plans for the California Academy of Sciences, the SF Giants' baseball stadium, and downtown Portland. Macris received his masters in City Planning from the University of Illinois. Honors include induction to the American Institute of Certified Planners' Fellows in 2002.
