FROM THE CHAIR
T H E G O L E TA C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E is focused on a variety
of long-range business issues that enhance our quality of life; including housing,
transportation, water supply, regulation and workforce development.
We also remain invested in important community issues such as protecting Goleta
Beach Park and enhancing the business climate in Old Town Goleta.
We strive to work on the things that matter and make a difference in the Goleta
economy and ways that business and government come together to improve our
business community.
We are enthusiastic to promote our great community. We continue to look at the benefits of tourism to our local economy and are proud of the success of GoGoleta.com,
Goleta's premier visitor website. And we cannot wait to celebrate the 27th Annual
Goleta Lemon Festival September 29 and 30, 2018.

Hallie Avolio,
Chair of the Board

To our members: Thank you for your trust in the Goleta Chamber of Commerce.
Without your support, we would not have the impact on business and community that
we do.
I'm proud to be a part of this amazing community!

FROM THE PRESIDENT
GOLETA IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, work and visit. Goleta's beautiful
parks and beaches, thriving businesses and good schools offer the best of life.
The community is interconnected between retail and industrial sectors, education,
non-profits, high tech business and its agricultural history. It has the friendliness
of a small town with access to big city activities nearby.
The mission of the Goleta Chamber of Commerce is to provide leadership that
promotes our community's vibrant quality of life, where businesses, residents and
visitors thrive.
We are proud to have a thriving industrial core in this beautiful coastal city with
many high-tech and science based small businesses providing head of household
jobs.

Kristen Miller,
President & CEO

In an age of continuing growth in the travel sector, we are promoting Goleta, On the
Coast, Down to Earth, to larger audiences and in more vibrant ways.
