EconAlliance is a cross-sector nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to build awareness, advocacy, support and appreciation for Northern Santa Barbara County industries and communities. Its 2022 activities included a forum exploring impacts of agricultural technology, a healthcare employer survey, an Energy Forum on carbon storage as an element in the transition to “net zero”, and the Future Forum held in November. 2022 also saw EconAlliance and the Chumash garnering a federal grant to articulate, evaluate and cost-out two alternative routes for the Northern Santa Barbara County Broadband Fiber Ring. Finally, a paid intern/industry match program was launched this year in partnership with the Workforce Investment Board Santa Barbara County – two college interns placed with a local agriculture robotics company and a dozen interns and numerous companies on deck for workforce enhancement!
