Transitional is the adjective to describe 2025 for EconAlliance! One of the first major changes is complete: our office relocation. Please note our new phone number is 805-803-1655. Our new physical and mailing address is 220 E Clark, Suite D, Orcutt, CA 93455. We will continue to receive mail at the 540 E Betteravia mailing address until July giving everyone time to update their contact lists.

Additionally, my new email address and phone number are below in my signature line. Thank you to all who have donated equipment, construction, and support to the move. We come to work each day excited about the space we are in and more importantly, the work we are doing!

Another transition is how we approach you, our supporters. Without your investment in our mission, we couldn’t focus on the studies, forums, projects and so much more to educate, advocate and impact our industries and communities here in Northern Santa Barbara County. As a result, your financial support is as investors not just donors or sponsors.

What is the return on your investment in EconAlliance? EconAlliance is a key catalyst inspiring high-performance, globally competitive industries and thriving communities. A champion for Northern Santa Barbara County and the key industry sectors that fuel these communities and inspire regional economic vitality. As a 501c3 nonprofit partner we are an additional activist promoting industry understanding, entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as the development of well-paying jobs, a highly skilled workforce and employment opportunity. We drive positive impacts through advocacy, strategic initiatives, unique partnerships and creative programs.

We have begun renewals and new investor rounds as well as golf tournament sponsorship outreach. Please contact Terri Lee Coleman or Jenelle Osborne to discuss 2025 options.

Finally, we are adding innovative programs and opportunities to connect across our industries and within our initiatives. Building Alliances will be a time for social networking across our membership and an opportunity to meet our investors and explore joining our nonprofit. Food for Thought: Initiatives & Impacts events will be smaller, more intimate discussions of an initiative or industry issue with policy or decision makers and influencers around a meal. If you would like more information on the Building Alliances or Food for Thought: Initiatives & Impacts events, reach out to me!
