He represents District 2 (Newp ort Heights\, West Cliff\, Newport Shores\, West Newport.)\n\nHe has lived in Newport since 1969\, and grew up sailing on the harbor. After graduati ng from Newport Harbor High at 17\, Brad spent three years as a profession al sailor crossing the Atlantic several times and cruising in the Caribbea n and Mediterranean.\n\nReturning home\, he attended Orange Coast College and transferred to USC where he received a degree in journalism and commun ications. He later received a master’s degree in public administration f rom Long Beach State University and an MLE certificate from the Harvard Gr aduate School of Education.\n\nSince 1979\, Brad has led the community boa ting program at Orange Coast College. The program’s facility is on Newpo rt Harbor along PCH. Soon after he was hired\, the program lost state fund ing as the effects of Proposition 13 impacted OCC. Responding to the crisi s\, Brad worked toward transforming the school into a self-funded operatio n supported through course fees\, grants\, and private giving. Today the p rogram is one of the nation’s most comprehensive community boating schoo ls\, enrolling more than 1\,500 students a year.\n\nPrior to his election to city council\, Brad served on the City’s Harbor Commission for five y ears. His other civic and community work includes serving Corona del Mar ’s Sherman Foundation (Board of Trustees\,) the Orange County Sanitation District (Director\,) and the Oasis Senior Center (Board of Advocates.) F rom 2016 to 2018\, Brad served as chair of the city’s Water Quality and Tidelands Committee.\n\nA lifelong sailor\, Brad has also volunteered at t wo of his favorite yachting organizations\, eventually serving as Commodor e of Newport Harbor and Transpacific Yacht Clubs.\n\nHe lives happily in N ewport Heights with his wife Julia.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][ vc_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nDiscussion topic s will include:\n• USMCA\n• Tariffs\n• Infrastructure\n• Immigrati on\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title ="MAKE RESERVATIONS HERE" color="sky" align="center" link="url:https%3A%2F %2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_AcWy62QrTEexDPORUjNDnA|target :_blank"][vc_column_text]\nEvent Sponsored by\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column _text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element="yes"] [vc_column width="1/3"][vc_column_text]\nEvent Sponsored by\n[/vc_column_t ext][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][v c_column_text]\nMeeting Sponsor\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_col umn_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_column_text]\nBreakfast tr eats provided by\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_c olumn][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n Breakfast treats will be provided.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_ column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_col umn][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nTh is event is free to the public\, but please make reservations so we can pl an for food and seating.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newportbeach.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2021/02/WakeUpNewport-Mar2021-BradAvery300x300.jpg CATEGORIES:Chamber Events,Featured END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20201101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
