The Power of Persuasion
Come and meet Mayor Heidi Harmon and enjoy her talk on How to Gain Support and Champions for You and Your Business.
Mayor Harmon came to the central coast 30 years ago as a college student, and like many, she found the charm and community irresistible. She stayed to make a life and raise her family in San Luis Obispo. After graduating from Cuesta and Cal Poly she worked as an early childhood educator in SLO for many years. The more she got to know the young people and families in our area, the more of her time and energy she gave to the community to make it even better for future generations.
She is an experienced community organizer, climate change activist and public speaker. As the Director of SLO 350, a point person with Protect SLO- Stop Oil Trains and a board member of the League of Women Voters Heidi has focused on the big picture and dedicated herself to public service.
In November 2016 she was elected as Mayor of San Luis Obispo. Heidi is committed to creating innovative housing solutions, revitalizing the unique culture of our downtown, and enhancing community resilience through energy efficiency and sustainability. She keeps the voice and concern of local citizens at the forefront of everything she does, and believes each person and perspective deserves the right to be heard.
