Presentations will be focused on advocacy, including an update from Ellen Bildsten AIA on ADUs and a lecture from Das Williams. Come hear County Supervisor Das Williams discuss disaster recovery reponse in his lecture Public Service During Disaster. Read more about the presentation below.
Presentation:
Beyond the day to day functions governments provide, which are often overlooked, it is also government’s responsibility to prepare and respond to disasters as well as to oversee and organize recovery after the fact. Every level of government has their role but in serving in elected office at both the state and local level, I can tell you that local government is the closest to it and becomes the main point of contact for state and federal agencies. Serving as an elected official during a disaster is especially difficult because you are the most visible representative for those who are responding and receive most of the questions and comments but it is the people behind the scenes doing all the work. It’s my job to figure out how to inform my constituents and keep them calm while staying out of the way so the professionals can do their job. The Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow has been the most challenging experience of my career but I’m extremely proud of how our County has responded and the work that has been put into it.

Neal Feay Tour: Our friend, anodized aluminum
2018-05-24 15:00 - 16:00 | Neal Feay, 133 South La Patera Lane, Goleta, CA, 93117, United States
Come tour the Neal Feay Aluminum Facility!
We will give a brief tour to show how Neal Feay produces specialty pieces for architects internationally completely vertically, from engineering, CNC cutting, finishing and anodizing – all in our 50,000 sqft factory in Glamorous Goleta.

They will learn- the properties of the anodizing process, and how it applies to archticture
– how ultra precision and small modules allows for virtually seamless facades, much better than very large sheets
– how Rhino and Grasshopper can be leveraged to create structures where every module is unique
– that anodized aluminum has personalities and properties that we have developed far beyond what is being done anywhere else in the world.
