Your community newspaper brought to life.
Good Morning SLO is our platform for sharing ideas, news and inspiration. A monthly program that brings community leaders, business owners, nonprofit executives and staffers together, and enables us to reconnect, engage and learn from each other.
Our goal is to provide insight into business, community and legislative issues and share the stories of those making a difference. We want audience members to leave with ideas and information about how to better their personal and professional lives.
Good Morning SLO happens on the fourth Thursday of every month except November when it is on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
LEADER OF THE PACK
The new year brings a new leader of the SLO Chamber Board of Directors. Fresh off her first speech at the Annual Dinner, Liz Summer will be coming to Good Morning SLO in order to share the agenda and policy priorities she sees for the chamber in 2023.
WINTER IS FOR THE BIRDS
Each January, birdwatchers and enthusiasts flock to Morro Bay in hopes of seeing as many as 200 species of wintering birds. Event co-organizer, Bob Revel, will recap the first festival back in three years, its environmental and conservation importance, and share why Morro Bay is one of the most prolific stopovers for wintering birds in the state.
A WINDFALL FOR SHELTER
Homeless services providers navigate incredibly complex networks of funding to provide shelter, sustenance and support to our unhoused neighbors. CAPSLO’s Loren Leidinger will share the story behind the $5 million Bezos Day 1 Families Fund grant they received and how it impacts their work.
THE WORK BEGINS
Last year, Emily Francis launched her campaign for SLO City Council. After a long few months of walking, biking and talking with our community, she won her seat. As the newest member of the council, we asked her to join us and talk about the issues and priorities she sees for our city.
THE CURRENT STATE OF RECYCLING
Central Coast waste collectors have resumed accepting #5 and #7 plastics and are recycling unprecedented amounts of organic waste. Integrated Waste Management Authority Executive Director, Peter Cron, will join us to address the plastic elephant in the room and celebrate progress in waste management.
FINDING THE HELPERS
As the water recedes and the skies clear, many across SLO County are able to fully assess the damage the recent storms left in their wake. Coalition builder and community advocate Quinn Brady will join us to share how one community came together to support their neighbors during their greatest time of need.
SLO REP’S RING OF FIRE
We’ll finish off the morning with a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to a unique musical legend! Cast members from SLO REP’s latest production will join us this month to share a song or two from “Ring of Fire – The Music of Johnny Cash” opening February 10 in downtown San Luis Obispo.
