Featuring: Blair Cohn
Executive Director
Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association
Born and raised in Long Beach, Blair attended Cubberley, Marshall and Millikan schools. He studied business/marketing at USC and began his event planning experience booking shows for local bands out of his dorm room. Blair worked for a number of event planning companies and was involved in organizing events of all kinds including fundraisers, sport expos, and corporate events. For six years he worked organizing national educational seminars and conferences for school teachers.
In 2001, Blair was a co-founder of International City Racing that organizes the annual Long Beach Marathon and remains as a consultant to a number of sporting events including the Annual Tour of Long Beach, City of Cypress 5K/10K, and was Cycling Competition Manager for the Special Olympics World Games recently held in Long Beach.
Currently, Blair is the Executive Director of the Bixby Knolls Business Association which has helped to revitalize the business corridors and neighborhoods. Blair created the Bixby Knolls Strollers, Literary Society, Supper Club, Good Spirits Club, Concerts in the Park(ing Lot), Kidical Mass Bixby Knolls, and helped grow First Fridays as ways to connect the community to the business district and its members. Blair also chairs the Council of Business Association (COBA), is on the Economic Development Commission; sits on the board for Bikeable Communities; was a member of Mayor Garcia’s Transition Team; and is a Mentor with Operation Jump Start.
Blair says: he doesn’t drink coffee, he “takes tea”; envies pioneers, rebels, and mutineers; admires anyone who can sing, play guitar or piano, paint or draw…well; and what he likes he likes a lot of.
