Planting the Seeds of Economic Transformation – Women Making Waves in Science and Tech Come to the North Coast

June 11, 2019 by Rodden Dawn

The Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce will bring women in the West leading in the fields of Science, Innovation and Entrepreneurship together for a dynamic panel discussion on taking risks, surviving setbacks, and disrupting the status quo. The event will take place on Thursday, June 20th from 5:30pm to 8pm at the new, state-of-the-art “J Wing” Arts and Engineering Building at the Morro Bay High School. Admission includes an all-access tour of the facility and an open house with music, catering by local favorite Buttercup Bakery and Café and mocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails) served by one of the Central Coast’s fastest growing beverage companies, Yes Cocktail Company. Morro Bay City Council Member Dawn Addis, who is also a co-founder of Women’s March SLO, will open the event. 
The Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce explained the event concept originated during a meeting with Alla Weinstein, founder of Castle Wind Offshore. Ms. Weinstein, hailed a “maverick” for her work as an engineer and entrepreneur in the field of marine renewables in Europe, was the first to identify wind energy potential off of the Central Coast of California. The floating wind turbines engineered by Castle Wind, each one as tall as the Golden Gate Bridge, are cutting edge technology with the capacity to utilize existing onshore infrastructure and energy grid access. Ms. Weinstein has commissioned a new study on the state-wide economic impacts of offshore wind and will debut those findings to a local audience during her keynote address. 
According to Chamber CEO, Erica Crawford, the panel and event title organically evolved. “Morro Bay’s economy is tourism driven, but the need to diversify our economy is great if the community desires to sustain itself long-term,” she says, referencing the City of Morro Bay’s recent focus on fiscal and economic sustainability as a major city goal. “When I first saw this STEAM center at the high school, and knowing that the development of offshore wind energy could bring new tech and engineering jobs here, I could see the seeds for growth were there at J Wing.” Ms. Crawford wants to invite the region into Morro Bay to get inspired by the economic evolution that this center and these women represent. 
The impressive panel of women who will share their stories, strategies, and insight includes: 

Dr. Joye Carter, Forensic Pathologist for SLO County Sheriff/Coroner Division and the first black

Judy Mahan, Incubator Director for the Cal Poly Hothouse who oversees the development of new technology start-ups in San Luis Obispo

Laura Godfrey Zagar, Partner at Perkins Coie specializing in water, energy and infrastructure projects across the country and Board Director at Equality California Institute which brings the voices of LGBTQ people and allies to institutions of power in the state

Speakers are set to begin at 6:30pm with the panel discussion moderated by a regional leader in Workforce Development, Kathleen Marcove, President of Marcove Executive Training. 
Tickets are $10 and available at
