I believe the Civic Alliance is important to the future of Ventura County because it provides citizens an opportunity to engage with local leaders about the issues of greatest importance to the sustainability of Ventura County within a culture of mutual respect, and with the genuine potential for influencing public policy among such leaders and electeds.
