CVEP News

Here is a glimpse of what is happening at CVEP.

A Regional Marketing Tool for CVEP 

CVEP's objective of economic competitiveness received attention in this week's issue of The Public Record. The front page article County Supervisors Target Manufacturing for Economic Growth discusses a newly approved manufacturing association. The goals of the organization would be to advise government leaders, provide networking opportunities to increase business in the county and look for ways for businesses to save money on operations. The association will be a marketing tool for the valley and for CVEP in attracting business to the region. The article includes an interview with Dr. John Husing, one of CVEP's key note speakers at this year's Economic Summit. To read the full article please click here.

CVEP Team Member Honored with Nomination 

This week, CVEP team member, Ernie Rios was surprised to learn that he had been nominated for Cal State San Bernardino's Spirit of the Entrepreneur Award. Ernie was nominated for this honor for his work with Pathways to Success and helping local students go to college. This awards program annually honors Inland Empire's top entrepreneurs at a black tie gala in Riverside. Ernie is very interested in this awards program as he would like to bring a similar awards gala to the valley to celebrate local leaders and those businesses and individuals who are a part of the upcoming Young Entrepreneurial Program starting here in the valley. Congratulations Ernie, CVEP is very proud!
