"Inspiring professional growth
through collaboration"

Message from the PACE President,

Greetings fellow PACE members and welcome to the PACE website!  First, I wanted to thank you again for being a PACE member.  Whether you are a long time member or one that just joined us, you are joining a team of extraordinary individuals.  PACE was built upon the core values of professional integrity, personal growth, lifelong learning, and civic responsibility.  Below is our Mission Statement, which reflects our commitment:

"to provide professional growth and leadership development opportunities and related activities which promote teamwork, camaraderie and open communication among employees at all levels and contribute to the effectiveness of the City organization and community."

PACE members share a commitment to serving the City and community of San Luis Obispo.  Our members come from every department and all lines of work, yet believe that we are all part of the "City Family".  We work hard as PACE members, are dedicated to professional excellence and celebrate our accomplishments.

This website was created with all of this in mind.  Here, you'll find the most up to date information on PACE programs, events, classes and more.  My hope is that you will use the site as a tool to become a better City employee and stay connected to your fellow members.   

Remember, PACE was created for YOU.  If you have any suggestions or commitments about how to make PACE even better, don't hesitate to contact me or the other PACE Board Members.    

Cheers! 

Ryan Betz
