Jose A. Gomez

Jose A. Gomez is provost and executive vice president at Cal State LA, ranked number one in the nation for the upward mobility of its students. He assumed the role of Cal State LA's chief academic officer on July 1, 2019, in addition to his duties as executive vice president and chief operating officer. Gomez is a proud product of the communities served by Cal State LA. He was raised in La Puente, in the San Gabriel Valley. A first-generation college student, he enrolled at Cal Poly Pomona through the California State University System’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). There, he served as student body president and chair of the 23-campus Cal State Student Association while earning his bachelor’s degree in sociology. Gomez, who was named a CSU Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program Scholar, went on to earn master’s degrees in political science and public administration, as well as a Ph.D. in political science, from the University of Southern California, where he was a President Steven B. Sample Fellow. In April 2019, he received Cal Poly Pomona’s distinguished alumnus award. Throughout his career, Gomez has been an advocate for greater access to higher education. In his 10 years at Cal State LA, he has led major initiatives to expand opportunities for students. These include Cal State LA’s downtown campus, which opened in 2016; Cal State LA’s Prison Graduation Initiative, California’s first bachelor’s degree program taught in state prison; and Cal State LA BioSpace, a regional bioscience collaboration that will include a university incubator to provide laboratories, equipment, and support for students and emerging entrepreneurs. Gomez also helped develop Achieve LA, a collaboration with the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, to create pathways to higher education for youth in underserved communities and to support youth and their families through initiatives promoting civic engagement and academic enrichment. Before joining Cal State LA in 2009, Gomez served as higher education adviser to the president pro tempore of the California Senate and as executive director of the California Educational Facilities Authority, the state’s higher education facilities financing agency. He also held senior positions in the California Department of Justice and the state Treasurer’s Office.

Bruce Thomas

Mr. Thomas was the Managing Partner of Thomas Advisory Group LLC. TAG is a full-service real estate development, brokerage and advisory firm specializing in commercial, office, industrial, hotel and resort development projects. Mr. Thomas was also The Lead Acquisition and Development Consultant in California for Urban America (UA), a real estate investment equity fund that has purchased over 1 billion dollars in assets. UA’s main focus is acquiring and developing real estate in urban and underserved markets. As a seasoned industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in acquisition, development and management activities related to a variety of development projects, he has helped the Urban America Fund raise $400 million dollars from institutional pension funds like Calpers. Mr. Thomas’ experience on the fund-raising side with investors (pension funds, insurance companies and banks) for Fund II, will bode well for the any BioMed campus. His ability to bring institutional capital is a value added to the BioMed Development team, along with his over 30 years of development and construction management. Mr. Thomas entered the BioMed space because of his knowledge of the need for new multi facility campus’ throughout California, as well as his desire to invest in projects that will affect change in the community. This was over twelve years ago when he began his partnership with Dr. Phil Hart on the USC/LA County Biomed campus development Request for proposals. Mr. Thomas believes the sound fiscal investments can be made in the inner city & underserved communities and even suburban markets can be combined with education, medicine, technology and job creation. The proposed BioMed campus in Los Angles is an excellent opportunity for banks, pension funds, and insurance companies to begin to reinvest into a needy community through a BioMed Fund and/or directly into the project as a direct investment. Currently The BioMed Development Group is looking at working with the City of Phoenix in the continued development of a downtown BioMed campus for Thomas’ alma mater ASU (Arizona State University). He was the first African American varsity athlete to letter in a major sport and get a degree in construction engineering. He sits on the Board of Directors for the City of Riverside Chamber of Commerce EasthillsDivision, he also is on the Advisory Board for the Sam Williams Foundation, a youth outreach program.
