Join us on June 28 at the stunning Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez as we celebrate Santa Barbara County Action Network turning 25!

We're raising a glass to Co-Executive Directors Jeanne Sparks and Ken Hough, who have poured their hearts into leading Santa Barbara County Action Network for 14 remarkable years.

Under their guidance, SBCAN diversified its board, deepened community partnerships, and championed environmental, economic, and social justice across the county. Their legacy is woven into everything we do.

While we'll miss them at the helm, the story continues! Ken joins the SBCAN Board of Directors and Jeanne steps into the SBCAN Advisory Council — so their wisdom stays close.

And the future? It's bright. We're thrilled to welcome Nancy Avoce as our incoming Executive Director, effective July 1.

Spotted early as a rising star by Jeanne and Ken, Nancy has spent nearly three years as Assistant Director exceeding every expectation. She's now building a dynamic, energized team ready to take SBCAN to bold new heights.

We'll hear messages from U.S. Senator Adam Schiff and State Senator Monique Limón.

We hope to see you! Come celebrate with us!

Onward in the fight!

Co-Presidents Lawanda Lyons-Pruitt and Dick Flacks
