Dear Community Member:

Berkeley Mayor Adena Ishii will be hosting her next office hours on Wednesday, October 23, 2026, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Whether you have an idea you would like to share, you would like to address an issue or concern, or just want to meet the Mayor, all are welcome!

You must make an appointment to secure your meeting. In order to accommodate as many individuals as possible, each appointment slot is for 15 minutes with the Mayor. Specific location details will be sent out 3-4 days before the Office Hours date. Virtual options are available upon request.

These appointments are designed to be a one-on-one conversation with the Mayor. If you are part of a group (2 people or more) that wishes to meet with the Mayor, please contact our office at mayor@berkeleyca.gov (mailto:mayor@berkeleyca.gov?subject=&body=) to make a formal scheduling request.

If appointments fill up before you are able to sign up, there is a waitlist. It is not guaranteed that a spot will become available. You will be notified if a spot becomes available. We will be continuing to host office hours throughout 2026, so not to worry if you miss this one.

Note: If you had an appointment at the previous round of Office Hours, you will not be able to sign up for this round of appointments.

If you have questions or need to request ADA accommodations, please contact Andrea Bernal: abernal@berkeleyca.gov (mailto:abernal@berkeleyca.gov?subject=&body=) | (510) 981-7100.

We look forward to meeting you!
