The five local mayors are set to provide updates on their communities and regional efforts during the 2022 Tri-Valley Mayors' Summit later this month in Dublin.

The luncheon and panel discussion, moderated by former Dublin mayor Tim Sbranti representing Innovation Tri-Valley, is scheduled to feature mayors Newell Arnerich (Danville), Karla Brown (Pleasanton), Melissa Hernandez (Dublin), Dave Hudson (San Ramon) and Bob Woerner (Livermore).

Hosted by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, the Mayors' Summit runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Patelco (3 Park Place). For tickets and more information, visit the Dublin chamber's website.

Melanie Sadek, the executive director of Pleasanton-based Valley Humane Society since 2011, has been named the president of the California Animal Welfare Association's Board of Directors for the next two years.

"I'm honored to represent the great organizations and people who make up CalAnimals' membership," said Sadek, who has sat on the CalAnimals board for the past six years. "Collectively, we work to improve the lives of both animals and people in our state."

Representing more than 230 sheltering operations in the state of California, CalAnimals' mission is to support the success of animal welfare and sheltering organizations in meeting the needs of animals and people in their communities, according to Valley Humane Society officials.

"The organization provides industry-leading advocacy, training, education and resources, and facilitates collaboration to address challenges and collectively improve the industry's ability to save the lives of companion animals in California," they added.

ECHO Housing is offering a free virtual workshop for first-time homebuyers for residents and employees of Pleasanton and Livermore from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. next Saturday (Aug. 27).

The session satisfies the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's first-time homebuyer education requirements for federal, state and local housing assistance programs, according to Pleasanton city officials.

"Learn how to create a budget, repair credit and how to shop for a lender. Discover types of mortgages and know what to expect in the loan and escrow process," organizers said.

Registration is required and closes on Wednesday (Aug. 24). To sign up or learn more, contact ECHO Housing at 855-275-3246 or [email protected]
