CHAMPION TULARE February 2019

Creating a Strong Local Economy

Representing the Interests of Business

(See Chair, Page 7)

us at these and you’ll be surprised by how many new contacts you’ll make and how much you learn – especially about the business hosting the mixer.

Ribbon cuttings – about 24 per year: 10-20 minutes of celebration, presentation and pictures, and the rest is Networking! Free for Chamber Members.

And new for ALL of us this year: We’re in the planning stages to launch a Morning Coffee Connection which will be a combination of networking, guest speakers and presentations – in case you’re more of a morning person. We will make it worthy of your time.

Advocacy: The number-one complaint and primary impediment to starting a new, or running a successful business is government regulations. What Chamber Members may not see is that part of the money you invest in the Chamber goes to State and Federal Chamber organizations that represent the voice of businesses to Legislators and Regulators. The influence of YOUR Tulare Chamber membership extends to Sacramento and Washington D.C. We’re not always in a majority there, but the CalChamber succeeds in getting a large number of job killing bills – well, killed.

And to that end, at the local level, we have the Government Affairs Committee (GAC), chaired by Patrick Isherwood. We have one of the most active and well-attended GACs in the Valley, and you’re missing out on great information if you’re not attending. Every month we have Fed, State, County, Cal-Trans, Irrigation District, Hospital District and City representatives giving us updates. Join us. You have to eat lunch anyway. Meetings are held on the second Monday every month (except February, because, well, Our Jobs Depend on Ag.)

The Tulare Forum on Homelessness – hosted by your Chamber, the City of Tulare and the Downtown Association. There will be a series of meetings, which started on January 29th, to hear from stakeholders on this continuing issue.

Education Your Chamber’s involvement in education is very important, and follows a few different paths:

At our Planning Conference last Fall, the Board of Directors reviewed our 2018 programs and accomplishments: What do

we want to keep doing, what needs improvement, do we need to drop anything, and what should we add that benefits the community and our membership – all in accordance with our Core Competencies.

The Chamber’s Core Competencies speak to how we achieve our mission – and logically lead to the activities and programs we’re involved with. I want to quickly talk about some of what Your Chamber is doing – and what we’re adding – in those areas.

Marketing From the Outside-In: Trade shows – did you know they have trade shows specifically for Cities to attend and say “Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!”? Well, we go to those. We go there with City staff and Officials, and we’ve been successful in bringing new business to Tulare, some of which you know about, and some of which is on it’s way, but still confidential.

We create promotional media, including video and online campaigns, to promote Tulare as great place for businesses to locate.

From the Inside-Out: We provide Chamber members with multiple platforms to promote themselves – online, at one of our many events, in print, or simply networking with other chamber members.

Continued Tourism promotion to bring people and their dollars to Tulare and the local area.

Ribbon Cutting – a celebration of a new or re-opening business. Free to Chamber Members, and a great way to run into other Chamber Members, and City representatives, and learn about new businesses opening.

Networking We have close to 40 Networking opportunities for you each year, and these include our formal events such as the Annual Banquet as well as…

Our Business After Hours mixers - which have been to the point that there’s about a one-year waiting list to host one! It’s once a month, free food, free beverages, and free to Chamber members. I go to nearly everyone, so I know that for most of our members it’s “New To You!” Join

Chamber Chair Sets Stage for 2019

Providing Business Engagement Opportunities

Promoting the Community

with Government

by Kevin Mooney of Morris Levin & Son, 2019 Tulare Chamber Board Chair

City

Economics Economics within the City of Tulare is important. According to the website homefacts.com and edd.ca.gov, the unemployment rate

in Tulare is at a very low 5.9 percent. As of October 2018, Tulare County was at 8.3 percent. This is a very positive position for our community.

Major employers within our town include the City of Tulare, Tulare Joint Union High School District, Tulare City School District, medical related professions, construction, dairy production and a plentiful amount of vocations related to agriculture. A large employer for the City of Tulare Includes Saputo Cheese, Land O’ Lakes and many ag supportive industries. Agribusiness is important and plays a vital role for jobs to those living in Tulare. As the community phrase goes, “My job depends on Ag” is statistically true. There is no better example to demonstrate this fact than the World Ag Expo at the International Agri-Center where 1,500 exhibitors display cutting-edge agr ic u l t u re t ec hn o log y and equipment on 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space, and over 100,000 people attend from around the United States and 63 countries abroad.

Local industries have an incredible responsibility and that is to meet payroll for so many of our local families. With that responsibility in mind, it is important to ask what are key elements to be aware of that adversely affect these industries? What are key elements to be aware that are adverse for our local economy? In the same question, what are the supportive factors that help boost business within Tulare? Advocats for local business must research and be educated to these questions and their respective answers. That is a goal of the Tulare Chamber GAC. The GAC meetings include speakers from local venues who inform the committee to this endeavor. Feel free to join the meeting and be part of the conversation advocating for our local business community.

The GAC Committee meets on the second Monday of the month at Apple Annie’s Restaurant at 12:00pm. All members are welcome.

Leadersh ip Tu lare participated in their third day session covering the dynamic issue of delivery and access to health care in the community. As health policy, research, and pract ice i s becoming increasingly

focused on improving the health of populations and addressing the social d e t e r m i n a n t s o f h e a l t h , i t ’ s encouraging to know that al l stakeholders in our community are coming together in order to achieve true and collaborative community health.

The Leadership Tulare Class convened at Altura Centers for Health in the morning and was provided with breakfast, a presentation and an interactive tour of the facilities by Graciela Soto Perez, CEO. In accordance with the theme of community health care, the Leadership Tulare team engaged in a presentation by Dave Sanbongi, Prehospital Liaison Nurse for Kaweah Delta Health Care District, the current largest hospital in the county. Prior to lunch, Leadership Tulare witnessed the SkyLife Air Ambulance land in Blain Park and had the opportunity to meet three members of its team. Lunch was sponsored for Leadership Tulare by Family HealthCare Network (FHCN) - a nonprofit community-based organization that has grown from a small outpatient health center in Porterville serving the farmworker community, to a network serving 253,850. The day ended with a visit to the newly reopened Tulare Regional Medical Center. Adventist Health began managing Tulare Regional Medical Center in October 2018. TRMC is expected to join the Adventist Health family in the first quarter of 2019 after the California Department of Public Health approves a change of ownership.

Leadership Tulare would like to thank all of the speakers and health care providers for taking the time to express their dedication and compassion for overall community health through awareness, education, equity, and access. The class would also like to thank Dave Schlaepfer and Sean Smiley for planning the day and providing the Leadership Tulare Class an opportunity to witness and engage first-hand with leaders in the health care field who truly have the best interests of the citizens of Tulare, and surrounding areas, in mind.

Leadership Tulare Healthcare Day By Cosmo Costales, COS

Community Impact Partner Spotlight

Thirty-four years ago, Kaweah Delta brought heart care to the greater Tulare County region. It started with c a r d i a c c a t h e t e r i z a t i o n , a procedure that helped tell patients how well their hearts were working. While that offering remains, Kaweah Delta now provides a full range of cardiovascular services, and has recent ly jo ined forces wi th Cleveland Clinic’s Heart & Vascular Institute, the No. 1 ranked heart program in the U.S.

“For 34 years, we have provided heart care to our community and kept people close to home with great results, but we know that having this world-renowned peer organization will help us further elevate the care that we provide our community,” said Gary Herbst, Chief Executive Officer of Kaweah Delta, noting that Kaweah Delta has been named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals™ for Cardiac Surgery and one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals™ for Cardiac Care in 2019 by Healthgrades.

As an affiliate, the two organizations will stay independent and physicians and staff of Kaweah Delta’s heart program will remain the same. This affiliation will provide patients:

Access to best practices that have helped Cleveland Clinic's heart program achieve U.S. News & World Report's No. 1 heart care ranking since 1995.

The ability to stay close to home for heart care by local heart specialists collaborating with Cleveland Clinic on the latest treatments.

Card iovascular spec ial i s t s partnering on the latest research and protocols.

C o l l a b o r a t i o n b e t w e e n Cleveland Clinic Heart & Vascular Institute and Kaweah Delta staff when dealing with complex medical situations using the newest technologies and innovations.

Even more experts weighing in on the best treatment for each case.

Ambassador Spotlight Debbie Gullord ServiceMaster by Benevento

Debbie Gullord has had the privilege of working alongside Tony Benevento since 2003. During that time, she has earned the right to be ServiceMaster’s liaison between their customers and the communities they serve.

Starting as a part-time receptionist, Debbie found herself wanting to do more. This desire to grow has led to her current position as Customer Service Representative for ServiceMaster by Benevento. Through this position, Debbie has been able to devote significant time to community outreach. When the opportunity to participate as an Ambassador for the Tulare Chamber presented itself, she dutifully rose to the occasion. Debbie believes that being an Ambassador has helped her better understand how businesses within our community operate. Moreover, she credits the friendships and knowledge that she has gained through this experience as a primary factor in her career success. According to Debbie, being an Ambassador is a high privilege. It gives people the opportunity to work with elite professionals from different industries and gain exposure for their organization. Additionally, it reinforces the value of getting involved and leveraging the relationships that you develop through the Chamber. As Debbie says, “If you are invited to join a committee or sit on the Board, the Chamber must think highly of you.”

As for ServiceMaster by Benevento, Debbie believes they get tremendous value from their membership with the Tulare Chamber. First, ServiceMaster by Benevento’s membership provides them with a unique platform to connect with the community. Secondly, it gives them the chance to educate people about their business and share all of the services that they offer, including: water damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, construction services, and cleaning services.

REFLECTING ON 2019 By Donnette Silva Carter, IOM Tulare Chamber of Commerce CEO

x

At our recent Annual Banquet, over 400 members and guests gathered to celebrate our esteemed honorees. We celebrated our generous partners. We celebrated the end of a chamber year of achievement and impact. And, we celebrated the fact that we all gathered, united as a community that we contribute to and enjoy being a part of.

2018 was an exciting and busy year for your chamber. You can see the infographic that’s our dashboard for the past year. Really I should say it’s just a highlight of the many initiatives we implemented to achieve our mission to serve our members and citizens by advocating for, and engaging in, efforts to encourage economic opportunity and business prosperity.

Sixty-four new members joined the chamber, to make us 572 members strong, and the representative of over 10,000 people employed by those members.

More than 50 events such as mixers, seminars, summits, business celebrations, signature events, and others, resulted in over 15,000 business engagements – all to promote business, strengthen business, grow business, and sustain business.

And about those signature events – in 2018 they all sold out. Some will say it’s a good sign that we’re doing our job to connect people and to market. While I would of course agree, I’d also say it’s a good sign that the economy has improved, people want to celebrate, and they want to invest in each other to continue to grow.

The chamber’s pledge to support workforce development for youth and adults grew as our partnerships and offerings grew. There’s nothing more rewarding than bringing teenagers together with adults to talk about future careers, plan for college, test their skills, and be inspired to reach for their dreams. Hopefully, as we continue to grow our economy, those dreams will include their careers in Tulare.

Your chamber’s commitment to economic development remained at the forefront of our comprehensive program of work. In partnership with the City of Tulare we went on business attraction missions to entice others to choose to do business in our town. We met with developers. We met with small business entrepreneurs. We served as the business resource center for mentoring and strengthening our existing businesses. And, I don’t know about you, but we are pretty excited to see the new retail offerings in Tulare now and we can’t wait for those others on the horizon. Additional potential businesses, small and large, local and franchised, are looking at us every day. There’s more to

come as we continue to grow.

In other areas of economic impact, we increased our presence in publications, travel shows, and other efforts to bring tourism to Tulare and the Sequoia Region. The Chamber also returned to the World Ag Expo, appropriately with a booth in the International Business Center, where we connected with businesses and forged relationships for potential trade and business development in our community. The choosetulare.com site was upgraded to partner with the Tulare County Association of Realtors. We increased the efficiency of this site which economic prospects can use to study our demographics, find commercial sites, and discover the advantages of doing business in Tulare. We also worked with Adventist Health to help them connect to Tulare and support the efforts to re-open the hospital.

Our governmental affairs efforts were stronger than ever, especially during the election year and in a time where many bills were introduced that hurt business. We are your advocate to fight bad legislation and to support and recommend bills that allow business and agriculture to prosper. I’ll take a moment to pat ourselves on the back and note that for the first time, the Tulare Chamber received the CalChamber President’s Award for Excellence in Business Advocacy. We were one of only 25 in California to receive this honor. I think that’s a very nice accomplishment considering there are over 250 chambers in our state.

These and other initiatives within our mission focused on continuing to serve as your champion for business and community. As we exited 2018 and jumped into 2019, we were Chamber strong, and Tulare strong.

Business After Hours Mixer

One chamber initiative is Workforce Development for our Members – and others – with classes on Excel, Websites, QuickBooks, Human Resource Regulations, Social Media, and New Business Startup.

Another is Workforce Preparedness: The Tulare Business & Education Council partners your Chamber with Tulare City Schools, Tulare Joint Union High School District, and College of the Sequoias to prepare our youth and adults to enter the workforce. I would like to ask for more Membership participation as we try to educate Tulare youth about jobs and professions in Tulare, and how to prepare for them

Leadership Tulare is an incredible program that combines professional leadership development on a local Tulare backdrop. Leadership enrollees learn, basically, how everything works here, from City Government to Service Clubs. If your business isn’t taking advantage of this program, you’re missing a huge opportunity to develop your key employees.

And new for 2019: we are going to develop leadership in our younger Tulareans with a Summer Leadership Academy for teens. More details to follow!

Credibility Your Membership Plaque on your wall means a lot. As I’ve run down a quick list of our 2019 activities, it should be clear that as a Chamber Member, you are a supporting member of a 135-year-old organization that does a lot of good, vital things here in Tulare. The Staff and Volunteers at your Chamber work hard all year long. We’ve made great strides in recent years, and we’ll continue to effectively execute our existing programs and add new programs that make sense for Tulare and our mission. We welcome and encourage your input and your participation. I am honored to play my role this year supporting your Chamber, and I hope that you are as excited about a successful 2019 as I am.
