Happy New Year!
I can’t believe 2023 has already come to a close. As I reflect on the past year, I am amazed at everything we have accomplished.
We kicked off the year with the launch of our newly redesigned website and the start of 2 new programs: the Events Roundtable & the Home Services Roundtable to help better serve our members in those industries. We welcomed over 200 new Chamber Members this year and celebrated them with 49 ribbon cuttings and over 100 plaque presentations.
Our monthly Luncheons, Breakfasts, and Happy Hours continue to be a huge hit with record attendance numbers throughout the year. Our annual events, SPLASH, State of the City, and Placer Valley, were popular with both members of our community and business leaders.
Our workforce development initiative, also known as Talent Pipeline Management or TPM, was proud to see its first round of graduates and the start of new industry collaboratives, including Hospitality, Healthcare, and Construction. We also supported our business community through public policy and closed the year with 15 legislative wins, 51 Bills tracked, and 2 action alerts sent. The Roseville Chamber represented local businesses by lobbying on their behalf during 2 trips to DC: Cap-To-Cap and Placer Business Alliance. We were also honored to receive the Cal Chamber award for being an Advocacy Champion.
Looking ahead, I encourage everyone to join us on January 18th for our first annual event of 2024, our Installation Dinner, as we install our 2024 Board of Directors and our 2024 Chamber President, Vance Jones!
I already can’t wait to see what all 2024 has in store for the Chamber, the community, and our amazing members!
Warm regards,
Rana Ghadban
