Summer Network Event at Santa Ynez Chumash Museum and Cultural Center – Santa Ynez, CA

Join Us for the Collaborative’s Summer Network Event!

The Santa Barbara County Regional Climate Collaborative invites you to our annual Summer Network Event—a space for members to connect, share, and shape our collective climate resilience efforts.

This year’s gathering will focus on strengthening cross-subcommittee understanding, planning for deeper coordination, and learning about Chumash history. Together, we will:

• Deepen our understanding of each subcommittee’s goals and actions
• Hear from members about key projects, programs, and resources
• Advance the Collaborative’s impact by gathering feedback and next steps on the 2-year goals identified by the Steering Committee
• Identify shared communication and coordination needs
• Learn about the Chumash Museum & Cultural Center and its significance to the region

Whether you’re new to the Collaborative or have been involved from the beginning, your voice and insights are essential to shaping our path forward. We hope to see you there!
