President's Message

As we finish an interesting 2021, let's focus on the good of family, friends and colleagues that we have the privilege of spending time with during this Christmas and Holiday season.

I think we all agree that one sure thing we have learned since the 2020- 2021 Pandemic, the IMPORTANCE of these precious relationships that we need and love. ENJOY them NOW!

Blessed Christmas and Holiday Season

Dave Elliott is featured at our first Business Connection Luncheon of 2022

The pandemic had sweeping effects on the way we worked, managed, and lived our lives in 2021. People have gone from daily commutes to working in their pajamas, entire industries have been upended through government lockdowns, stores have struggled to meet customer demand in a logjammed global supply chain, and millions of people have left their jobs. Join us on January 6th as Dave Elliott discusses what we have learned in 2021 and what is ahead in 2022.

Assemblyman Tom Daly to be honored on January 21

Join us for breakfast at Morton's, the Steakhouse as CHOC's Jena Jensen interviews Assemblyman Tom Daly. He was elected in 2012 to represent California's 69th Assembly District, which includes the city of Santa Ana. He first sought elective office in 1986, winning election to the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Union High School District. Since that victory, Daly has won eight consecutive elections, including serving as Mayor of Anaheim from 1992-2002.
