Members are the people who make The Legacy Lounge possible: visionaries, supporters, and collaborators who believe in the power of community through storytelling. This collective includes our Advisory Board, whose wisdom and community connections help shape the direction of our work; our Donors, whose generosity sustains our mission; and our Legacy Speakers, who share their lived experiences and ignite meaningful conversations.
Together, they form the heart of The Legacy Lounge, championing inter-generational dialogue, amplifying unheard voices, and nurturing a space where stories build bridges across time, culture, and identity.
We are deeply grateful for each member who stands with us in cultivating legacy through shared purpose and connection.

What if our community’s most meaningful stories disappeared?
At The Legacy Lounge, we ensure they don’t.
Through a series of intimate, in-person gatherings, we spotlight long-term residents, local families, and organizations that have shaped Santa Barbara County, preserving their stories and strengthening the connections between us.
Each event invites the public into a heartfelt conversation with someone who embodies the Spirit of our region, the Essence of our community. It’s not just storytelling. It’s community building, emotional connection, and cultural preservation.
As we grow, we are seeking partners who believe in the power of story, belonging, and face-to-face connection. With your support, we can continue honoring the voices that make our region what it is and ensure they are not forgotten.
We cordially invite you to be part of this work.
Legacy Speakers
The Legacy Lounge embodies the essence of our community, showcasing locals whose stories captivate curious minds. Legacy Speakers offer an intimate perspective on their experience living in Santa Barbara County by sharing their stories through public, in-person events.
The events are designed to captivate the essence of our county through the speaker's perspective, leaving audience members with a renewed sense of connection to the community.
Conversation topics are as diverse as the speakers themselves, reflecting the dynamic tapestry of our region. We invite community members to attend our exclusive events, offering a space where they can meet like-minded individuals who share a common interest for inclusivity and with their love for the city they call home.
Current Santa Barbara County residents who are multi-generational families, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, historians, and experts in their field are welcome to inquire.
