Chamber names Brock Roby as its 2013 chairman 130 business leaders, elected officials attend luncheon in Pleasanton Marriott Brock Roby, a civil engineer and for many years a church ministry leader, was installed Tuesday as chairman of the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce for 2013. He succeeds April Mitchell, formerly the Alameda County Fair marketing director, who will continue to serve on the chamber’s board for one year as past chairwoman. Scott Raty, president and chief executive of the chamber, praised Roby for his many civic contributions to the community since moving here with his wife Anne and their family 10 years ago. Roby serves on the city’s Human Services Commission and has been a member of the Chamber’s board of directors for the last three years. He also is the volunteer director of E-Soccer, a special needs sports program that emphasizes full inclusion in small group settings and one-on-one coaching. He served as ministry leader and administrator of the International Church of Christ for 19 years before returning to his engineering profession, joining BKF Engineers in San Francisco in 2005. In his church work, he and his wife led ministries in Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Hawaii. Besides Roby, Dave Stark, public affairs director for the Bay East Association of Realtors, was installed as the organization’s chairman-elect, which means he will move into the top post next January. Matt De Pretis of the accounting firm of Thompson & De Pretis was installed as treasurer, a position that will lead to heading the chamber in 2015.

Fox recently returned from a medical mission to rural India where he was one of several on a non-medical support staff, helping doctors repair cleft palates and cleft lips on more than 100 undernourished and impoverished children. Fox has been on 18 of these trips, serving on teams that have performed surgeries on 75-80 patients each time. The missions are sponsored by Rotaplast with financial support from Rotary International, although everyone making the trip pays their own transportation costs.
