| Vallejo Employees Meet Commute Challenge |

Twenty-four employees from Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Vallejo were recognized by Vallejo Mayor Osby Davis and Vallejo Chamber of Commerce Interim President and CEO Anita Hawkes as part of the 2009 Solano Commute Challenge.
Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Vallejo earned the title of "Commute Champion Workplace." Kaiser Vallejo was the leading employer in the city of Vallejo as calculated by the number of employees using alternative transportation methods to commute to work from August to October. Mayor Davis, a member of the STA Board, thanked Dr. Steve Stricker, Kaiser Permanente Physician-in-Chief, and Joseph Eisenbrandt, Kaiser's On-Site Commute Challenge Coordinator, for their efforts. Baljinder Manger was recognized as Most Outstanding Commuter for using a commute alternative for 60 workdays.

Would you like more out of your Chamber Membership? Do you shy away from Chamber "Networking @ 5" opportunities because you are new or don't know anyone? Would you like to get more involved? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then joining the Ambassadors might be fun and productive for you!
The Ambassadors are a dedicated group of Vallejo Chamber of Commerce members, who volunteer their time to foster and promote the goals of the Chamber to our membership and the community. Ambassador members act as volunteer liaisons between new and prospective members, and the Chamber Board of Directors and staff.
The meetings are the first Tuesday of the month at the Chamber from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Contact Cheryl Feldman or Peter Wilson for more information or check out the Ambassadors on the Chamber Website for further details.
We look forward to seeing you!

| Citizens Redistricting Commission Now Accepting Applications |
|
California State Auditor Elaine Howle recently opened the application process for Californians to apply for the first-ever Citizens Redistricting Commission, which will draw new state Senate, Assembly and Board of Equalization district lines.
The commission, established when voters approved the Proposition 11 redistricting reform initiative last November, will redraw political district boundaries. The California Chamber of Commerce-supported measure allows the citizens of California-rather than the legislators-to draw legislative districts that will eliminate the inherent conflict of interest that exists in the current system. This process will make California a national leader in redistricting reform.
For more information, membership requirements and to apply to the commission, visit www.WeDrawTheLines.ca.gov, or call (866) 356-5217. |
