SEPTEMBER IN SANTA CLARA: WHERE CULTURE, COMMERCE, AND COMMUNITY COLLIDE!

Dear Fellow Santa Clarans,

As summer fades into fall, our city is heating up with an incredible lineup of events and initiatives that showcase exactly why Santa Clara is the heart of Silicon Valley’s vibrant community spirit. From celebrating our rich cultural diversity to preparing for some of the world’s biggest sporting spectacles, this September is packed with opportunities to connect, celebrate, and chart our city’s exciting future together. Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to our community, there’s never been a better time to dive into all that makes Santa Clara truly special.

State of the City: “Shaping Tomorrow. Celebrating Today.”

State of the City: “Shaping Tomorrow. Celebrating Today.”

Mark your calendars for an evening that promises to be both inspiring and delicious!  Join me at the Mission City Center for Performing Arts at Wilcox High School, where we’ll dive into Santa Clara’s incredible journey with our State of the City presentation. Starting at 5:30 with refreshments, we’ll celebrate our wins, tackle our challenges head-on, and unveil the exciting plans that will define our city’s next chapter. This isn’t your typical government meeting, it’s a community celebration where we’ll honor our outstanding Santa Claran of the Year and recognize amazing district Community award winners who make our neighborhoods shine.

Supporting Women Back to Work

Supporting Women Back to Work

Last week, I was honored to welcome the *2025 Women Back to Work Conference to Santa Clara at the Delta Hotel. * This important event, hosted by *Akraya’s Women Back to Work program*, empowers women returning to the workforce by providing mentorship, resources, and career opportunities. When women take a pause from the workforce, it’s vital that they have the support to return, because their talent, leadership and perspective are essential to the strength of our economy and community.  As one of only three women to serve as Mayor in Santa Clara’s 172-year history, I know firsthand how vital it is to open doors and lift each other up.  For more information and resources, visit womenbacktowork.org [ http://www.womenbacktowork.org ].
