Oakland’s Next Chapter: A Conversation with Mayor Barbara Lee

Hosted by the Rotary Club of Oakland

Join the Rotary Club of Oakland for our first meeting of the new year featuring Barbara Lee, as she shares her vision for Oakland in 2026 and beyond.

This special luncheon brings together civic leaders, nonprofit partners, business owners, and engaged community members to reflect on where Oakland is headed—and how collaboration across sectors can strengthen our city. Mayor Lee will speak on the priorities shaping Oakland’s future, followed by opportunities for connection and conversation.

As the largest Rotary club in the world, the Rotary Club of Oakland has a long legacy of service supporting local schools, funding community programs, advancing global humanitarian work, and investing directly in Oakland’s next generation of leaders. This event reflects Rotary’s ongoing commitment to service above self and civic engagement at the local level.
