As Pacific Beach embarks on change and growth, residents, businesses, community groups, planners and environmentalists are undertaking the challenging job of reinventing the community by restoring natural areas, embracing history, engaging public schools and supporting transit oriented development. 
On Thursday, May 24, Citizens Coordinate for Century III’s (C-3) monthly Breakfast Dialogue will feature a Pecha Kucha-style presentation and Q&A on how Pacific Beach is embracing change and growth. Spurred by the desire to help create a community where people want to live, work and play, speakers will cover lessons learned and advances made to implement this community-led vision.
Moderated by Kristen Victor, CEO of Sustainability Matters and C-3 board member, presenters will include: 
·         Sara Berns, Discover PB, executive director of the Pacific Beach BID;
·         Brian J. Curry, past chair, Pacific Beach Planning Group;
·         Michael Prinz, senior planner for the City of San Diego, project manager for the Balboa Avenue Station Area Specific Plan;
·         Jennifer Sims, Pacific Beach Middle School, IB coordinator, Co-Chair PB Community Collaborators;
