2024 Who we are
The SBCCOG’s “South Bay Sustainability in Action” Photo Contest awarded two first prizes at the SBCCOG’s 24th General Assembly.
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) is a joint powers authority of 16 cities and the county of Los Angeles that share the goal of maximizing the quality of life and productivity of the South Bay subregion of Los Angeles County. South Bay cities and the county maintain the qualities and characteristics that make them unique and independent, while coming together collectively to address issues of common interest for a greater good. Our members are motivated by the collective vision of what the SBCCOG can do for our communities through cooperation, collaboration and innovation.
