Hear from Pleasanton Mayor Karla Brown at
State of the City address on March 29
PLEASANTON, California – The Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the State of the City Pleasanton 2023, featuring Mayor Karla Brown. Everyone in the community is invited to hear Mayor Brown's annual address on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at the Palm Event Center.

“I am pleased to join the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce to present the State of the City update this year,” said Mayor Brown. “It is an honor to reflect and acknowledge the achievements we have made together over the past year, as we set our sights on a strategic and sustainable future. I hope to see many of our Pleasanton residents and businesses at the event to hear about ongoing projects and exciting initiatives that ensure the city’s continued progress in the years to come.”

Following her election in November 2020, Brown is serving her second term as Mayor of the City of Pleasanton, preceded by serving two terms on the Pleasanton City Council. Mayor Brown currently serves on multiple regional and city committees, boards and commissions. She has worked as an Associate Broker/Real Estate Agent since 2002 and has held a Real Estate Broker's license since 2007.

Mayor Brown has lived in Pleasanton for 29 years during which she has supported many organizations. She has volunteered with RAGE youth soccer as a coach, the Tri-Valley Conservancy, Hively, Valley Humane Society, and she has held positions as a Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Liaison and School Site Council for Pleasanton schools. When not working, she enjoys playing tennis, walking, hiking, bicycling, and spending time with her family.
The Chamber looks forward to hosting the annual event as it is an opportunity to connect influential business and community leaders to elected officials. A portion of the program is dedicated to recognizing the Chamber’s Circle of Influence members, whose ongoing support has been instrumental in the growth of the Chamber. The Circle of Influence is a catalyst for the exchange of ideas and engaging key leaders regarding both obstacles and opportunities for local business growth and economic expansion.
“Pleasanton faces many challenges, from housing to water quality, that require collaboration across broad stakeholder groups,” said Chamber board chair Jill Buck of Go Green Initiative. “The State of the City event is a unique opportunity to hear from the Mayor, and learn how to substantively engage in the most pressing issues in our community,” said Buck.

The Clorox Company is an elite sponsor of the event, while Altamont Corridor Express (ACE), Amos Productions, CEMEX, Fremont Bank, Hoge Fenton, John Muir Health, Nina Pomeroy Photography, Palm Event Center in the Vineyard, Safeway and Sensiba San Filippo have also partnered as sponsors. A limited number of sponsorships are still available.
