May 30, 2025

In an innovation that has been well-received by our community, Cal-ISBOA’s signature spring events featured both wellness and educational activities on the program this year. These included a Sunrise Hike to start the day on May 4 and 5, as well as a Historical Property Tour of The Claremont Resort & Club on the afternoon of May 4, all made possible by the generous support of our 2025 Platinum Sponsor IMA.

The Sunrise Hike explored the natural surroundings and gorgeous views of the Bay Area at a leisurely pace, while the Historical Property Tour, a walking tour, featured beloved stories and interesting facts about the hotel’s historical past.

Conferences can be notoriously grueling: multiple days in a row away from home, eating whatever you can find, and pushing yourself to take full advantage of opportunities for learning and professional growth (while sometimes never stepping out of the hotel!). The Sunrise Hike and the Historical Property Tour were designed to encourage attendees to prioritize their health, get outside into the fresh air, and learn about the fascinating history of their surroundings, all while they travel to support their professional development.

We hope you were able to join us for a hike or a tour, in addition to our robust program of professional learning sessions at Cal-ISBOA’s 2025 Signature Spring Events.
