Five Things the Chamber did for your business this past week |
- We held our monthly Ambassador meeting where we announced our 2022-2023 Leadership Team for the committee. Our Chair is Tom Grimes, Avatar Website Design & Co-Chair April Vidal, Miss April’s Dance. Our Ambassadors are an amazing group of people who are passionate about business and our Chamber!
- We held our last Board of Director’s meeting for 2021-2022. Our Chairman of the Board, Erik McLeod has done an amazing job leading our Board for the past two years. We’d also like to thank, Tanya Tabrizizadeh, Denny's Wildomar and Murrieta, & Michael Klein, MPK Advisors & CPAs for their two terms of service and Jenn Sevilla, Inszone Insurance for her term of service to our Chamber.
- Our President/CEO attended the Western Riverside Council of Governments General Assembly & Leadership Conference in which he was able to meet and briefly chat with Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, Inc. The address was themed Innovation, something we are passionate about and work towards bringing greater resources to our region.
- We are currently working on an issue through our Save Small Business Coalition regarding ADA Website Compliance and Frivolous Lawsuits as there have been several companies in our community and in southern California who were all hit by a lawsuit on the same day from the same firm. We are working to get better legislation to protect businesses.
- We celebrated Kimberly Niebla, our amazing Events & Program Manager’s 7 Year Work Anniversary with our Chamber. We are so thankful to Kim for all her hard work, dedication and fun she brings to our Chamber and the Business Community!
