CoLAB VC
The Ventura County Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business (VC CoLAB) is a membership organization that was founded in 2010 in response to several pending regulations that threatened agriculture and business in Ventura County.
We are a 501(c)6 non-profit created to build influence by establishing a broad coalition of informed stakeholders, experts and advocates to promote a strong local economy while preserving the local quality of life in Ventura County. We actively promote sensible and rational regulatory oversight and advocate for both businesses and local property rights through monitoring local government actions, providing expertise, research and engaging in educational campaigns to inform our members and the public.
