Chairman Emeritus Sandra Button
Carmel, California

Sandra Button became Chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2002 after serving as its Executive Director for decades prior. She has helped to guide the growth of this Concours into a truly global celebration of the automobile. Sandra encouraged and supported automotive enthusiasts around the world by traveling to, participating in, and often officiating at concours and car shows from Asia and the Middle East to Europe and South America. She and her husband, Martin Button, have acquired and have preserved or restored an eclectic collection of automobiles ranging from a 1904 Oldsmobile to a 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4—not to mention two Bentleys—and they regularly participate in driving events such as the 1000 Millas Sport Argentina, the Copperstate 1000, and the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Sandra is also a member of the Royal Automobile Club, the Classic Car Club of America, the Motor Press Guild, and the Society of Automotive Historians.
