TOWNHALL

In May 2023, the Executive Team held its first regional town hall meetings in Santa Maria, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, and the JJC. The town halls provided staff the opportunity to share ideas and suggestions as well as learn about Department priorities directly from the Executive Team.

The next round of 2023 Town Hall meetings are coming up soon! They are scheduled for August 22nd in Santa Barbara, August 23rd at JJC, August 31st in Lompoc, and September 6th in Santa Maria. It's a great opportunity for staff to gather and ask questions. To make sure your question is addressed, consider submitting it in advance We hope to see you there!
