She will also ask for the Board’s support of public awareness efforts by the California Emerging Technology Fund’s ‘Get Connected!’ initiative to help rural communities achieve access to broadband technology and infrastructure that are essential for the 21st Century success of communities, families and individuals in Ventura County.

Residents throughout the Santa Clara Valley are invited to attend. The Board of Supervisors' meeting will take place at the Santa Paula City Council Chambers located at 970 Ventura Street, Santa Paula on December 7, 2010 at 6:30pm.
