Happy Mergerversary Monday! Today we celebrate the State of the City and State of the County! The State of the City has been a long standing tradition of our Chamber, demonstrating the public and private partnership between the Chamber and the Cities. Last year was our first ever virtual State of the County event and we look forward to seeing you on September 30th in-person!
Representing Business to Government – State of the City and State of the County
From Goleta to Carpinteria, we’ve got you covered! We held our three-part State of the City Series featuring Carpinteria, Goleta, and Santa Barbara in 2020 and 2021. We also covered the collective accomplishments and updates when, in 2020, we hosted our first virtual State of the County. On September 30, 2021 we are excited to host the first in-person State of the County where we will share a holistic view of timely, relevant, and trustworthy information from our elected officials and City leadership teams.
Last month the Chamber team spent a day in Santa Barbara experiencing activities that residents and tourists enjoy on a daily basis. From the classic Santa Barbara Trolley Tour, to the Salt Caves on State St., to the whimsical Ganna Walska Lotusland in Montecito, the day was filled with information about our community highlighting Santa Barbara’s rich history and natural beauty. The tour helped the team to better familiarize with these experiences and to speak to these wonderful Santa Barbara offerings.
