Perspectives 2014, a breakfast celebrating Yuba County-based businesses, takes place Friday, April 25, at the Peach Tree Golf and Country Club beginning at 7 a.m. The free event for private-sector businesses hosted by Yuba County will feature keynote talks from Carolyn Beteta, President and CEO of the California Travel and Tourism Commission, and Dan Kruger and Paul Violett, President and Vice President of Soper Wheeler Company, LLC.

Two participants for each Yuba County business are invited to attend Perspectives 2014 at no cost. Non-business attendees will be accepted for a $25 admission fee based on seating availability. To reserve seats for Business Perspectives, call 530.749.7560 or email here. 

Carolyn Beteta will unveil opportunities to grow local tourism in partnership and through leveraging resources with the state's tourism commission, and Dan Kruger and Paul Violett will provide a compelling presentation on the enduring legacy of logging and tree farming in Yuba County.

"We are thanking our business community for making Yuba County their home with our annual 'Perspectives 2014,' this year over breakfast," said Yuba County Administrator Robert Bendorf. "Each business represents an extremely valuable and integral part of our community."

"You don't want to miss Business Perspectives," said John Nicoletti, Chairman of the Yuba County Board of Supervisors. "You always walk out the door understanding a little more about why we have such a great business community." In past years Bishop's Pumpkin Farm, Frank M. Booth, Naumes, and Cotton Rosser have been recognized with proclamations and special video presentations as the "Champion of Yuba County."

Western Planting Solutions

Got gophers?

After much research, Dan Schweitzer officially started Western Planting Solutions, a company that manufactures an organic root guard pest control protection product. With help from the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and a business loan through Yuba-Sutter Economic Development Corporation (YSEDC), Dan successfully launched his business in 2011.

Over the last three years Dan grew his customers and sales and was ready to move up to the next level of production and bring on staff to help manage the business. Again he looked to YSEDC and SBDC for support and successfully gained the funding he needed to expand his business, increase production and sales, improve cash flow, and increase efficiency and management of the Western Planting Solutions.

J & J Custom Framing

In early 2013, a unique opportunity was presented to Joseph Mcleod, J & J Custom Framing, by Gary Elliott, business owner of a well-respected framing and photography business in Marysville. Elliott was looking for a quality buyer that he knew would treat his customers well, so he personally contacted Mcleod with an offer to sell his framing business.

With a quick turn-around required to purchase the business, Mcleod looked to YSEDC for financing. With financing assistance and consulting from Small Business Development Center, he was able to purchase, relocate and expand his business to 414 D Street in Marysville. To accommodate increased customer traffic as a result of the move, J & J Custom Framing recently hired their first employee.

J & J Custom Framing offers an array of custom framing options to choose from, specializing in meeting the customer demands for unusually sized or shaped frames. J & J Custom Framing is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit their new location on Historic D Street for your custom framing needs.
