Sabrina Hiltunen Graduates from First City Academy 2026

Monterey, CA

The newest cohort of the City of Monterey's First City Academy ended their 9 week program on May 20, and the Old Monterey Business Association's Executive Director, Sabrina Hiltunen, was one of the 42 graduates!

Sabrina writes. "In addition to the extensive training and information I learned about the City of Monterey and the individual departments, First City Academy allowed me to build rapport and strengthen working relationships with City leaders."

In her role at the OMBA, Sabrina works daily with the City of Monterey across multiple departments - everything from the Streets and Utilities Maintenance Division to the City Manager’s Office - to serve and represent small businesses in Downtown Monterey.

We thank Sabrina for devoting her Thursday evenings to the program this spring. We know the knowledge she gained will benefit OMBA members in the long run.
