  • Long Beach Junior Chamber Of Commerce
    76Th Chairman And President
    Long Beach Junior Chamber Of Commerce Jan 2005 - Dec 2008
    The first year I joined the Junior Chamber I took on the challenge of raising funds for the organization. As project chair I led the team to raise $16,000 in one evening for the Long Beach Junior Chamber, Brenda Mehling and Long Beach Junior Chamber Foundations. The next year, as the organization's vice president of marketing, I was asked to re-brand the 70+ year old organization. Knowing the organization’s deep history in the community I collaborated with numerous members and alumni to produce the, 'make change.' brand. Inspired by Gandhi's famous quote, 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world,' the evergreen message invites you to take the lead in your individual, community, and career development. The 'multi colored ring icon' echoes the history, global role, and Olympic themes while recognizing the dynamic diversity and famous city skyline of the Long Beach community.As president and chairman I nurtured a portfolio of offerings from board member strengths and personal/professional goals. Not unlike a capstone project, board members produced innovative and enduring offerings, like, ‘Words with Wine,’ a monthly book appreciation and wine education program or, ‘Beer & Politics,’ which continues today at my friend Mike’s Liberation Brewing company.Recognized by the Long Beach City Council for my positive and meaningful economic impact in the community.

Ask me about FedEx 'ing a deadbolt lock to a very busy builder, who chronically had no time to meet.Success meant gaining buy-in from executive leaders to local originators (and their referral partners). Those who achieved the most success from the program:+ Led with their strengths using a personalized action plan (with weekly tasks)+ Maintained adaptability with regular one-on-one coaching+ Made smarter investments in their business growthFinally, the program added corporate peace of mind in managing marketing, brand, and message risk in the field.
