The critically important role of public policy in maintaining a functioning, working Democracy, needs participation by citizens to be effective. As the current political landscape seems impossibly polarized, Hannah-Beth will make the case to exercise our citizenship by involvement at all levels of politics. We’ll also talk about the role of Public Administration education as an option for our nation’s youth.

Hannah-Beth Jackson

Former California State Senator

Hannah-Beth Jackson is a former California legislator, practicing attorney, educator, and small business owner.  From 2012 to 2020, she served in the State Senate, representing nearly 1M residents in the 19th Senate District, which includes Santa Barbara County and Ventura County.  From 1998 to 2004, she represented the 35th State Assembly District.

During her legislative career, Hannah-Beth served as Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and received national recognition as a champion for women’s equality.  The Huffington Post identified her as one of 11 women in the United States “blazing new trails” in American politics and was described as “the state senator shifting California’s workplace culture” by The New York Times.  

Hannah-Beth is the author of the California Fair Pay Act, landmark legislation that strengthens the state’s equal pay law, and Senate Bill 826, the first law in the nation that requires publicly-held corporations to include women on their board of directors.

OUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY
NAVIGATING THROUGH COVID-19

The world is grappling with an issue of enormous scale and human impact, and our hearts go out to all who have been affected by the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).

At TEDxSantaBarbara, we believe it is our role and responsibility to prioritize two things: the health and the well-being of our community while also playing a constructive role in supporting local health officials and government leaders as they work to contain the virus. Through that lens, we will continue to make decisions with vigilance and courage informed by the latest science-based information.

As of now, we are postponing our main event in the Fall, to the first weekend in November 2021.
