The Channel City Club

Santa Barbara’s Window on the World

Now approaching its 80th anniversary, the Channel City Club was founded by Louis Lancaster in 1946 to provide Santa Barbara with a local venue for leading experts on state, national and international topics through lectures and discussions.

Our Next Event:

 

Westmont President Dr. Gayle Beebe at Channel City Club Annual Christmas Brunch

Navigating the Crucibles of Leadership: Lessons from Westmont President Dr. Gayle Beebe

 

Join the Channel City Club for our Annual Christmas Brunch in the Reagan Room at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort.

 

From global uncertainty to institutional pressure, true leadership is forged not in times of ease, but through defining trials. Drawing from his acclaimed book, The Crucibles That Shape Us: Navigating the Defining Challenges of Leadership - featuring a foreword by New York Times columnist David Brooks - Dr. Gayle Beebe shares actionable insights on building resilience, character, and vision through life’s greatest setbacks.

 

Celebrate our 80th anniversary year with an inspiring morning of camaraderie, music, and timely conversation.
