Relationships with elected officials In the span of a calendar year, Partnership members are given the opportunity to meet with 80% or more of the San Gabriel Valley's elected officials at Partnership events. Members can meet with federal, state, or county officials in an intimate setting alongside 15-35 other members at the Partnership's Legislative Breakfasts held throughout the year. The Partnership also hosts an annual Legislative Networking Reception that is well-attended by elected officials, business and community leaders. "THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY IS A VERY SPECIAL AND A UNIQUE PART OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
