A Message From Chairman Of The Board, Barry Jolette
REDWOOD CITY, CA - June 2, 2006 Your Chamber of
Commerce has once again been very busy in our community. The
Annual Wells Fargo Benefit Golf Tournament was held May 8
at Stanford Golf Course. As usual, a great time was had by
all of our participants from golf, to dinner, to the auction
to raise funds. And from a financial perspective, it was our
most successful tournament yet as it resulted in a
contribution for Kainos in the amount of $34,000! Thanks to
our many
sponsors and golfers.
And then on Friday, June 2 at the Sequoia Club we held graduation
ceremonies for the 37 graduates of the 18th Chamber¹s
Leadership program. Rich Gordon from the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors, a graduate of the program and a member
of our Hall of Fame, did his usual terrific job addressing
the class on his five points of leadership.
This nine-month leadership development program is offered
by the Redwood City-San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce and
provides participants the opportunity for face-to-face meetings
and hands-on workshops with experts and key decision makers.
In dynamic sessions held one day per month,
September through May, participants learn about issues of
vital concern to their city; and learn how they can work effectively
to shape the future of their community, their organization
or their business. Participants gain a broader understanding
of their community and how it functions, as they are
introduced to influential community leaders. If you are interested
in being a participant in the next class, just call the Chamber
at 364-1722 and sign up now.
On Friday, June 16, community leaders gathered at the Oracle
Conference Center for our 2nd Annual Progress Seminar Remixed.
We were treated to an informative panel on the California
Infrastructure bonds we will have the opportunity to vote
on in November. Sean Randolph from the Bay Area
Economic Forum gave us his insight into our Bay Area economy
with some generally encouraging perspective. And our panel
of political experts closed the morning with their differing
views from the Democratic and Republican perspectives. Next
on our busy agenda is "Good Morning Redwood City"
at the Sequoia Club at 7:45am on July 26. Hope to see many
of you there!
