The Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its annual State of the City event, taking place on Thursday, April 20 from 11 AM to 1:30 PM at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. This year’s luncheon will bring together the Mayors of Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria to share their visions and updates for their respective cities.
This annual event is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for attendees to hear from all three South Coast Mayors at one time. The Chamber is proud to present City of Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte and City Manager Robert Nisbet; City of Carpinteria Mayor Al Clark and Assistant City Manager Michael Ramirez; and City of Santa Barbara Mayor Randy Rowse and City Administrator Rebecca Bjork as guest speakers.
“We are thrilled to bring together the Mayors of Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria for our annual State of the City event,” said Kristen Miller, President and CEO of the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce. “We believe it is essential for the business community to understand our region’s strategic focuses and hear directly from our elected officials about the issues that matter most to our local economy and community.”
The State of the City Luncheon is one of the largest business events on the South Coast and the premier event for Chamber members. In addition to the Mayors’ presentations, each city’s manager will join for a panel discussion covering various topics like budget, public safety, economic development, infrastructure, homelessness, and housing. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with business leaders and community members.
