Chamber President
Joyce Riddell says goodbye
It seems like only yesterday when
I arrived in Huntington Beach to
become the new President of the
Chamber of Commerce.
It is hard
to believe that was 28 years ago
this past August.
On december 15th, I will be
retiring from a job that I truly loved.
There wasn’t a day that I couldn’t
wait to get to the office before it
opened, and many, many days
worked past 5 p.
m.
When the Chamber held a luncheon my first week in town and
introduced me to the Board and City Officials, I knew I found my
new home.
Everyone was so friendly, you could tell by the way
they talked about Huntington Beach that they truly loved this
city.
My description of Huntington Beach then was that “It was
a sleeping giant”.
And, look at it now, 28 years later, it sure has
awakened, a great place to live, work and play.
It has been so exciting to see both the City and the Chamber
develop into what they are today, and to know that I played a role
in their progress.
Today, our Chamber is one of the accredited chambers in the
united States, one of the few, 300 out of 6,000 Chambers.
Chamber membership is over 1,000 members and our program
covers everything from networking programs to a Green Expo.
As
I have said over and over, “Involvement is the Key to chamber
membership; you get out of it what you put into it”.
I am happy
to know that I have made a believer out of many of you over
the years.
As for the City, the change over the years has been remarkable.
The renovation of the downtown and Bella Terra, the new
THANk YOU!

Census 2010
The Huntington Beach
Chamber of Commerce
has partnered with the
u.
S.
Census Bureau to
promote the 2010 Census
and their efforts to obtain
a comprehensive count
of Huntington Beach.
The Census will start on
April 1, 2010 and the Chamber encourages every resident of
Huntington Beach to comply with their civic and legal obligation
by completing and returning the 10 questions survey.
Why is this so important? It’s important because the census is
used to determine the amount of government funding we receive
in all areas of the community.
It’s important we receive our fair
share of the $3 trillion dollars that is allocated every year to state
and local governments.
Funding that includes funding for our
schools, health care, transportation systems and highways, parks,
senior services and much more! The census data is also used to
determine which states gain or lose representation in Congress.
It
is important that every one participate, and besides, it’s the law.
10 QUESTIONS, 10 MINUTES TO COMPlETE
With one of the shortest questionnaires in history, the 2010
Census asks for name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship
and whether you own or rent your home.
It takes only about 10
minutes for the average household to complete.
Questions about
how we live as a nation—our diversity, education, housing, jobs
and more—are now covered in the American Community Survey,
which is conducted every year throughout the decade and
replaces the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire.
Responses to the 2010 Census questionnaire are used for
statistical purposes only, and all are strictly confidential. [Less]

a vendor or a visitor.
The Expo is being held
again in the parking lot of the Huntington Beach Central Library (7111 Talbert
Avenue) on Saturday September 26, 2009 from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The event,
which is free to the public to attend, attracted more than 70 vendors and
2,000 to 3,000 visitors in its first year.
This year is expected to be even bigger
and better.
Vendor spaces are still available, so if you produce or sell a green product or
service that meet the criteria listed below, we invite you to consider joining us.
(Please note that all vendor applicants must be approved by the Chamber’s
Green Committee in order to participate.
Last year’s participating vendors
have been pre-approved.
Once applicants are approved, we will send you
the vendor contract that includes the invoice for payment.

Merchants displaying the Surf City Savings logo will offer

an effort to encourage shopping in Huntington Beach.
The
City and its partners have made it easy for the public to find
participating merchants by visiting www.

As a successful businessperson, you have attended
manymeetingsovertheyears
to develop your professional
skills, be rewarded for your
hard-won success, or to find
out the latest news in your
industry.
These are all great
opportunities to travel to
wonderful places to which
you may not have otherwise
had the opportunity.
And
your memories last a lifetime.
You may not realize it, but
Huntington Beach is a major
destination for just those
kinds of meetings.
Our hotels
have hosted thousands
of meetings to educate,
incentivize, reward and
have fun for all associates
of a company.
So… what does this have to
do with “SMERFs”? This term
is used by the travel industry
to describe groups that are
related to “Social,” “Military,”
“Educational”, “Religious” and
“Fraternal” gatherings.
We
are all in our personal lives
engaged in some activity
that meets once a year that
has a Social (weddings,
parties, engagements, hobby
enthusiasts, etc.
), Military
(reunions and business),
Educational, Religious or
Fraternal (sororities, service
organizations) reason for
getting together.
One hardly
wakes up in the morning
and says, “Wow, today I
am organizing a SMERF
meeting!” Yet, we are doing
just that when we organize
a family reunion, our annual
meeting of bird watchers, the
gathering of social friends to
get the “mojo back,” or when
we just want to see those who
“watched our back” when we
were in harm’s way.
Do not hesitate to pick up
the phone and call one of
our great hotels to start
working towards bringing
SMERFs – Bring Business Home!

The State Legislature has called a
May19thspecialelectiontoaddress
the serious budget problem it has
created.
As you may be aware,
the State of California has been
fiscally mismanaged for almost a
decade, and this year the chickens
are coming home to roost at a time
when our economy has been in a
serious free fall.
To address the
projected $40 Billion plus budget
deficit that has been created by the
failure to make necessary budget
reductions, the Legislature and the
Governor enacted the largest state
tax increases in the history of the
united States.
Californian’s have
the distinction of being the highest
taxed individuals on the planet and
we continue to see signs that our
state government still cannot cover
the deficit it has created with its
spending appetite.
To address this mismanagement,
the Legislature needs voter
approval on its revenue grabs that
theyareproposinginthesixMay19th
ballot propositions.
The description
of each proposal and the Chamber
position and recommendations
are listed below.
The Huntington
Beach Chamber of Commerce
wishes to express its displeasure
that our elected state leadership
has brought the state to the verge
of bankruptcy by failing to control
state spending and saying no to
special interest groups when it is
time to make spending reductions.
Instead, the taxpayers and
businesses are left with footing
