The Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce will be holding the third annual Legislative Summit on Thursday at Bacara Resort & Spa.

The summit, presented by Bacara Resort & Spa, MarBorg Industries and Venoco Inc., will begin with a presentation from 3 to 4:30 p.m., followed by a Wine & Cheese Networking Reception from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

The presentation will feature a panel, moderated by Keith Woods, with elected officials including state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, Assemblyman Das Williams, Goleta Mayor Roger Aceves, Santa Barbara City Councilman Frank Hotchkiss and Santa Barbara County Executive Officer Chandra Wallar.

This is the only event on the South Coast to provide the business community with an opportunity to hear from our regional elected officials on legislative matters that affect the business climate. We will ask our elected officials to speak about economic development, revenue neutrality and how they can work together to provide the business community with a unified set of goals and objectives.

The reception will be a chance to connect with the panelists, as well as many other elected officials, dignitaries, candidates for office and government administration officials, all in the Ocean Terrace at Bacara Resort & Spa.
