Chamber Co-Sponsors NewSustainability Circle Program

An important new program designed to show businesses how to make substantial savings in operational costs while operating a sustainable business is being offered through a partnership of the Petaluma Chamber, True Market Solutions, and PG&E.

Designed for businesses with 30 or more employees, the program is called the Sustainability Circle, and will involve ten selected businesses or institutions that will send representatives for six monthly sessions covering a range of subjects designed to reduce costs and reduce usage of valuable resources.

The wide ranging sessions cover topics such as lighting, HVAC, and water to procurement, branding, metrics, and utility programs and incentives. The intent is to work with each business to create a customized five-year action plan that makes the business case for investment in short and long-term initiatives. Participants will receive hands-on help from coaches to develop this plan.

In addition to full-day group work sessions, participants gain valuable advice during individual meetings with True Market Solutions coaches and on-site walk-throughs. The outcome of the program is a

customized 5-year Sustainability Action Plan that makes the business case for investment in short and long-term initiatives.

PG&E is paying half of the $7,500 fee for each participant in this program.

Chamber CEO Onita Pellegrini said that True Market Solutions’ track record nationally, and the substantial operational savings shown by businesses that have completed the program, speaks for itself.

“We consider this an important opportunity for our larger business members,” she said. “We are planning a luncheon informational meeting on this program in February for our members, to answer questions and present the program in detail.”

True Market Solutions has been running Sustainability Circles in

Northern and Southern California, and in the Midwest, for four years with over 120 companies and organizations having completed the Circle program thus far. Recent participants have seen significant results from their experience, with average projected five-year annual savings per organization of $286,000; 1.5M kWh; and 960,000 gallons of water.

Petaluma AmbassadorsBy Kathleen Stafford

How many times have you thought

to yourself what is a Petaluma Area

Chamber of Commerce Ambassador

anyway and what exactly do they do?

Well I’m here to tell you we are

a group of people that volunteer

our time to help orchestrate lots of

activities within our wonderful city of

Petaluma. We all live and work in our

community; we are business owners,

entrepreneurs, employees, moms,

dads, and PTA members, just normal

everyday people who are passionate

about Petaluma and the success of

our local businesses and employers.

The Petaluma Chamber of

Commerce is a great resource for

businesses. Owning a business here

in this town it’s a must to join the

Chamber. They have a directory that

is updated annually that lists your

business and contact information.

The Chamber gives you a platform

to host Business After Hours

which is a great way to bring other

Chamber members and guests into

your business in a fun and relaxed

atmosphere. You will see many of

us Ambassadors greeting you at the

door at these types of events.

There is a great website, www.

petalumachamber.com, that is

updated regularly and gives

information and Newsflashes about

our local goings on, both in regards to

business and other local events.

So the next time you see one of us

with our Chamber Ambassador name

tag or the Blue Ambassador Ribbon

come up and say hi, or better yet wait

for us to come say hi and welcome

you; after all, that’s what we do best.

And if you are a dynamic, outgoing,

and fun member of Petaluma then

maybe you would like to be an

Ambassador too. Contact the Peta-

luma Area Chamber of Commerce at

707-762-2785.

President’s Message

2015 Forecast LooksGood for Petaluma

By Tom Griffith, President,

Petaluma Area Chamber of Commerce

Last month the Sonoma County Economic Development Board released the economic forecast for the Sonoma County economy. The report was prepared by Moody’s, one of the most respected economic analysts in the nation.

For those of us doing business in Sonoma County, the news is good, and our recovery from the economic downturn should continue into 2015. Some of the highlights from the report:

• Sonoma County’s economic growth has slowed this year, but it is still keeping pace with the U.S. average. The unemployment rate has hovered around an enviable 5.4%, and the rate of job growth exceeds its average of the past 15 years.

• Homebuilding is accelerating, although the number of new permits issued for construction is still about half its long-term pace during the 15 years before the housing market downturn in 2006.

• The potential to attract high-tech industries creates some upside potential. Among notable companies, Agilent’s electronic measurement division was spun off as Keysight Technologies and is benefiting from increased investment by broadband communications firms.

• Sonoma County is expected to emerge next year even stronger. Improved regional and U.S. income gains will support tourism and the wine industry. Near-term growth will be augmented by business services, construction and healthcare, while the tech sector stabilizes and creates upside potential for the outlook.

• Sonoma County is expected to

emerge next year even stronger. Improved regional and U.S. income gains will support tourism and the wine industry. Near-term growth will be augmented by business services, construction and healthcare, while the tech sector stabilizes and creates upside potential for the outlook.

Without questions, problems remain. Here in Petaluma, we still have about a fifth of our office space still empty, but there is a high level of optimism that the resurgence of the high-tech industries will help fill in those empty spaces.

For the Chamber, through our Economic Development Committee, we will be working with the city to see how we can facilitate absorption of new businesses into our community, and to help those businesses make the transition as effortless as possible.

Through our Government Affairs Committee, we will continue to monitor the rules and regulations enacted by regulators to determine that no unnecessary roadblocks are placed in the way of this continuing recovery.

Most of all, we look forward to welcoming these emerging new businesses to our community, and to place our services and good will at their disposal.

The Petaluma Area Chamber of Commerce wishes you

a prosperous and healthy 2015!

Martha and Rob Domont of Petaluma Valley Athletic Club were honored at December’s Spirit of the County awards program, shown here with County Supervisor David Rabbitt. The Small Business of the Year honorees at 2014’s Petaluma Community Recognition Awards, they were nominated for the Spirit Award by the Petaluma Chamber.

Representatives of the city’s service clubs joined together for a presentation to the Leadership Petaluma class last month on non-profits day.

The group, which has formed the Petaluma Service Alliance Committee, detailed a long list of activities by the various clubs Terry Bryant represented Petaluma Valley Rotary and lead grad Jackie Taylor represented Petaluma Rotary and the Petaluma Service Alliance. Representing Petaluma Sunrise Rotary was Dave Hanson, and Michael Carauna, sitting President for Petaluma Rotary, both spoke of the importance of giving back to the community.

Representing 7-11 Lions Club was Jodie Gallagher, and Thom Knudson represented Petaluma Host Lions.

Marilyn Bartow spoke for ELKS Lodge 901 and Jim Fitzgerald was Petaluma Kiwanis Club’s representative.

The Service Clubs were offered a great opportunity to showcase their Clubs to the broader Community and to do some much deserved bragging and promoting!

In 2014, her work was on view at the Loft Gallery, O’Hanlon Center for the Arts, Mill Valley. She creates visually exciting collages from created and found imagery. She allows intuition to take over during the creative process. She wrote, “Creation and manipulation of images is how I express what I came in knowing, which has no words.”

Elaine Larson had a previous career

in information technology, with art as an avocation until 2008, when she retired and became a full -time artist. Elaine delights in sharing with others her passion for collage. She offers private lessons and teaches at the O’Hanlon Center. Elaine states, “I delight in diversity and the infinite complexity of our quantum, holographic, love – based universe.”
