Who We Are
Mission: To achieve regional sustainability, open dialog, boundary crossing and collaboration, evenhandedness, community building, and consensus decision-making
Founded in 2001 as an initiative of the Ventura County Community Foundation, the Ventura County Civic Alliance is a coalition of civic leaders with a shared commitment to the three E’s — the Economic, Environmental and social Equity interests of our region. This balance ensures that our research and community dialogue is embedded with a broad and diverse set of perspectives and priorities.
What We Do
We bring together residents and civic organizations to explore options and find integrated solutions to the complex economic, environmental, and social challenges of our region. The Alliance plays a variety of community roles, including being a neutral convener and facilitator of regional forums, a think tank for policy development and objective, fact-based research, and a leader, organizer or catalyst of strategic initiatives.
