Community Leadership Visits
Community leadership visits are an opportunity for Santa Cruz leaders to meet with business, education, and government leaders in different communities with similarities to Santa Cruz County to look at innovative ideas, programs and initiatives which might be adapted to our community.
Visits by community leaders to learn about the experiences of other cities and counties with similar issues and opportunities are a time-tested process that pays real dividends to the participants and their communities. The Santa Cruz County Chamber has organized such visits for Santa Cruz County community decision makers. During these visits, local leaders travel to a different community, meet with leaders there, and explore how they have addressed some of the same problems our area faces.

"Each year, I really look forward to participating in the CLV and find the time spent to be such a valuable learning opportunity. It not only gives me great ideas and insights but is a fantastic way to network and build professional relationships. It is one of my favorite events hosted by the Santa Cruz County Chamber!”

“ This year I will be attending my 3rd CLV Trip, and really looking forward to it. The connections you make with community members is priceless. From the business sector, city & county representatives, to education and tourism. It’s a very informative to learn how other cities operate differently or similarly to Santa Cruz."
