BOARD EXECUTIVES CHAIR: BECKY WARREN Elevate Public Affairs
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT / CEO • LAUREL ROSEN
PAST CHAIR: JEFF KLOCKE Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier
Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Laurel Rosen believes in a Three-C approach to the organization’s commitment to community. “There’s messaging that many Chambers use,” Laurel says, “and that’s to be Conveners, Connectors and Champions. And that’s who we really are. We have to be able to connect* and convene** groups to talk about the future of Santa Monica and how everyone plays a part. We need to champion^ the voices of the voiceless. What is the Chamber’s role in that?” *connect: intransitive verb
: to become joined; to have or establish a rapport; to establish a communications connection Throughout the statewide lockdown and phased reopening as well as the protests and vandalism tied to civil disruption, Laurel and her team have worked to connect not only Chamber members, but the broader Santa Monica business community and residents with as up-to-date and accurate information possible. This has led her to develop, among other projects, the Santa Monica Business Relief Fund. Laurel says the positive response comes as no surprise in Santa Monica. “People really care about this city and they really want to take part,” she says. “Because it’s a small city unto itself, it’s a different type of energy. With everything that’s going on, I’m sure this is impacting our tourism and global travel, but also, this is happening everywhere. (With this fund) we can start handing money out to the Santa Monica businesses most affected.” **convene: intransitive verb : to come together in a body Laurel says damages sustained to the downtown corridor during the May 31 riots highlighted certain stressors. “Even considering the many international people that come into our city, our city’s not diverse enough,” she says. “We are four percent 4 I
SA N TA M O N I C A C H A M B E R O F CO M M E R C E
I
African American, 14% Hispanic. That’s really come to the surface lately. Our lack of diversity is affecting us.” This opened an opportunity to unite business leaders and improve communication. “One thing we’re looking at now is working with some of our is African American board members to create Black Leadership Santa Monica: A Business Community Conversation,” Laurel says. “We have very few black businesses, but we do have some very strong black leaders, so I’m working on that webinar. We are convening to hear how we have to join together to make a difference. There’s a lot of hate out there, but all that does is give us more determination to take some chances.” ^champion: transitive verb : to act as supporter of; to protect or fight for as a champion “We have to see at any given time what and who we need to champion,” Laurel says. “At this point we need to champion our youth who are inheriting this incredibly difficult world. We have and continue to do that with our Career Day and our scholarships and Leadership Academy and our intern program.” Laurel says the programs to engage and support young people are only one example of many focuses. “We have to champion small businesses in our community. We do that by fighting against legislation that’s prohibitive for our businesses. We have to look as a Chamber at what is our role to support more economic development and support more diversity?” Laurel knows building on these “three Cs” of Connect, Convene and Champion is a process in the road to the future. “We are not shying away from the issues,” she says. “We will be front and center and really trying to hear and listen to all of our members. We have to look at it as, who we are as this great city; who we are as a city that needs to change; and what is the role of the Chamber in the middle of all that?”

RECOUP, RECOVER & REVITALIZE Santa Monica is the place where creativity and innovation meet, and where the ideas that shape the world are born. This remains true even in times of local, state, national and global unknowns. Even in these times of Covid-19! In fact, if ever the character and durability of our community has been tested and proved, NOW is that time. The hustle and bustle of Downtown Santa Monica, including the Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Place, are temporarily subdued as we follow a recommended abundance of caution. The twinkling lights of Santa Monica Pier and the palm trees along Ocean Avenue may seem a little muted. Mid-City’s and the Bergamot Area’s boutiques and pubs may be selling more “curbside,” but each of our world-renowned attractions are on the rebound. The spirit of our community and our residents—the resilience of our profound business environment—these elements have sustained us through the opening quarters of 2020. Our families, our entrepreneurs, our civic leaders and care givers continue to grow, learn and evolve. As we each move forward with one eye on adaptability to new demands, our other eye is fixed on consistency and the unwavering work ethic that has made Santa Monica the perfect mix of world-class urban living and laid-back California beach town.
Santa Monica is the place where creativity and innovation meet, and where the ideas that shape the world are born. This remains true even in times of local, state, national and global unknowns.

RECOVERING OUR ECONOMY It’s no surprise the lockdown resulted in some forfeited economy. One strategy for recovering that revenue is through the Buy Local Santa Monica campaign.

Industry leaders understand a crucial first step in that process is for folks to feel safe spending their income in the community. “Santa Monica Place is committed to providing a healthy shopping environment,” commented Julia Ladd, Vice President of Property Management at Santa Monica Place. “We have enhanced our cleaning procedures and implemented physical distancing measures throughout the property. We will adapt business practices to meet the evolving needs of our retailers and customers during this dynamic time with a constant focus on delivering a best-in-class retail, lifestyle and dining destination.” In addition to the variety supplied by Santa Monica Place, the Main Street/ Ocean Park area offers restaurants and hotels and boasts a weekly farmers market, as well as a variety of different boutiques and shops, international restaurants and the highest concentration of coffee shops in the city. The MidCity/Bergamot Area is Santa Monica’s furthest inland neighborhood and is the area’s arts and entertainment hub. Sunset Park carries the local, artsy feel up along Ocean Park Boulevard, from Main Street to the southeastern city boundaries, and is home to a number of coffee shops, boutique stores, and neighborhood-serving amenities.

Whether you already live here or are intending to relocate, Santa Monica is proud to host several distinctly different neighborhoods. Our housing market encompasses a variety that offers a perfect home base for everyone. The median home value in 2019 was $1,722,200 and although Zillow has predicted a minor decrease in valuation during the next year, the SM real estate market’s offerings from single-family homes to lofts to multi-unit options provide diverse housing prospects to our citizenry. U.S. Census estimates regularly profess nearly 30% of our almost 90,000 residents are homeowners. Multiunit structures—i.e. apartment buildings, condos and duplexes—also offer more than 40,500 additional housing units. Regardless the size of your family or the amenities you need to recuperate from short- and long-term stressors, we are excited to call you “neighbor.”

“My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers— so many caring people in this world.” Fred Rogers With a population exceeding 91,000 residents, peaceful coexistence is never guaranteed. This is particularly true when the topics of social inequality and a pandemic are in the mix. This year, the combined local impact of national and global events has many people feeling strains from physical to fiscal. In Santa Monica, the evidence of the repercussions is as varied as the environments in which we live and work. Mandatory social distancing; face masks in public; the upheaval of schedules from childcare to graduations to cancelled vacations and professional training…the list of adjustments, frustrations and disappointments stretches on. But Santa Monica was born of adaptability, and some lifestyle changes seem tailor made for our tech-savvy community. One example is the wide application of video chats for everything from family meetings to doctor’s visits to business arrangements. “We’ve seen an enormous shift in the way we communicate that is here to stay,” says Santa Monica Chamber President and CEO Laurel Rosen. She suggests this is one positive outcome from the pandemic’s demands. “Quite frankly, if I’m going to meet with somebody, I don’t want to talk on the phone anymore. If I’m going to talk to you, I want to see who you are. I want to look in your eyes.” She continues, “If I’m going to close a deal on something, being able to see that person while you’re doing it builds trust. It builds identity. It builds a level of commitment you don’t have when you’re talking on the phone or texting.” Of course, everyone knows it hasn’t all been a matter of technological progress. When organized protests supporting the Black Lives Movement devolved into violent riots at the end of May, the community at large was knocked on its heels. But not for long. When cleanup of the damages began on June 1, Susan Neisloss

and some of her team at www.bigbitefilms.com made a point to document the participation of volunteers, Chamber members and other community leaders. You can see the camaraderie and effort shared in their short film at www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ_ g5y6g_-U&feature=youtu.be Repairing physical damages doesn’t replace changes to systemic bias and inequality, but it is another example of our city working together to communicate and work with purpose. Importantly, the challenges of this year have not defeated us. “So much of it is perception,” Laurel says. “Everyone’s having different experiences. There are people that not only don’t feel terribly affected, but in fact are doing well. And they’re afraid to say they’re doing well.” Laurel wants both those residents and businesses to release that reticence and understand there is no need to feel survivor’s guilt. She says it’s okay to be okay. “It’s okay to be okay because the people who aren’t okay are going to rely on you. If you have bandwidth, the people who don’t are going to rely on you.” She believes that’s become a shared responsibility. “To convene people to bolster each other, to create together in this new world—I think that’s a big part of our responsibility moving forward.” Meanwhile, Laurel continues to focus on the momentum already produced and how it can further unite the community. Not just relating to businesses, but to residents and families. “I really think we owe it to each other to have expectations of each other to be able to understand how to pivot. How to grow, how to evolve. This is a point of evolution. It truly is. We have choices to stay small and afraid, or to grow, to change, to be. We have the choice to have courage.” And in Santa Monica, having the courage to evolve together is

Building Resiliency to Keep Santa Monica Safe and Sustainable The first in the country to adopt a Sustainability City Program, today Santa Monica is recognized internationally as an award-winning safe place to live and work. Its residents and visitors enjoy the beach, biking and walking venues, great weather, educational and cultural programs, world-class retail and a thriving business community. To ensure the Santa Monica community remains healthy, safe and sustainable, the city adopted the most extensive earthquake building retrofit ordinance in the nation in 2017.
Optimum Seismic is Santa Monica’s partner in building resiliency to preserve the city’s hard-won achievements in sustainability and economic growth. Protecting buildings from collapse prevents the loss of business operations, tax revenue, critical business services and valued multifamily housing where employees and their families live.
Since 1984, Optimum Seismic’s in-house engineers and construction experts have been providing seismic engineering and construction services to make cities like Santa Monica safer and more resilient. Learn more at www.optimumseismic.com/smsafe Š 2020 Optimum Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved.

ECONOMY, JOBS & COMMUNITY ON THE REBOUND Santa Monica relishes its robust and diverse local economy. Established companies and unique startups are attracted here for our energetic workforce, resilient business environment, available venture capital and overall quality of life. The unexpected events of 2020 change none of that. In fact, the enthusiasm and creative stamina that is Santa Monica’s mainstay remains intact. Santa Monica’s Deputy City Manager and Director of Policy Anuj Gupta acknowledges the scope of recent events. “Our community at large and I think, in particular, our business community has faced an unprecedented challenge through the (new coronavirus) pandemic and closures,” Gupta says, “Certainly, the events of May 31st added a whole new dimension of challenges particularly for those impacted businesses, and I think also for the community overall. But I think it’s also an opportunity for us to demonstrate together the resilience and the strength of Santa Monica.” Gupta says the attitude and drive for recovery kicked in immediately. “Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis we have seen really a new level of partnership and of collaboration; of our partners stepping up and all of us working together in new ways and with all the logistical challenges the new coronavirus entails. We quickly established as a city an economic recovery task force to get them the guidance they need.” Gupta says it’s been a joint effort with

ECONOMY, JOBS & COMMUNITY ON THE REBOUND people from the business community, the Business Improvement District, Santa Monica Travel & Tourism and others. “People just raised hands and wanted to be involved and make sure that our businesses and our entire community bounce back from the crisis and the huge economic impact of the pandemic and the shutdown.” Brian Mac Mahon, founder of Expert Dojo, the fastest growing startup in Southern California, says that energy is indicative of Santa Monicans who know to look for the opportunities. “We are going to have phenomenal people that are going to come through this during the next two or three years,” Mac Mahon explains. “This is a period where there’s going to be a whole new group of people who are going to come out stronger. And if people approach it from that perspective and they spend every single day and wake up every morning and they say, ‘Okay. Where are my opportunities today to benefit from the situation we’re in

find growth in what had been ambiguity. Cedars-Sinai Medical Network Vice President of Strategic Integration Mary Clare Lingel says even during the statewide lockdown, the medical industry is finding ways to encourage employment innovation. “In some cases, new work was created around setting up video visits for patients and training clinicians for virtual visits,” Lingel says. “Other staff have pivoted to do diligent outreach to our most at-risk patients, such as seniors and those with chronic health conditions, to help them stay safe and healthy.” Lingel says these changes are just a few of the ripple effects initiated by the COVID19 shutdown. “This experience has given us the opportunity to dramatically evolve how we provide care while really putting the patient at the center,” she continues. “We’ve had to reimagine the ways in which patients can access care with the goal of making those experiences seamless for each person. Moving forward, we’re looking at ways to streamline the patient journey from their car into the exam room, which might include a virtual waiting room.”
Back at City Hall, Gupta says the local government is working closely with and following Los Angeles County Department of Public Health protocols for how to implement and govern decisions on reopening different sectors of the economy. He says it is a balance. “We are very cognizant of the fact that as we reopen, we’ll only be able to stay open and continue progressing forward if we see the (infection) numbers remain steady and see good practices among community members and business owners. If we see compliance with all of the guidelines that are in place to ensure safe reopening and to ensure businesses are complying with social distancing; that we have face coverings for the employee side, as well as patrons; and all the things that need to happen to ensure reopening doesn’t result in a spike. “We share the urgency that our business community feels to open, but fortunately our community recognizes we have to reopen right, safely and with the right tools,” Gupta says. “We think our best role here is to support a safe reopening.” Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Laurel Rosen is embrac-
ing these challenges. “The word that keeps coming up is ‘pivot’,” Rosen says. “Everyone needs to figure out how to pivot, including the Chamber of Commerce. We will not be doing business as usual. And if you are, you’ll be left in the dust. “As much of a tragedy as this is and was,
the only thing we can do is move forward and see it’s like a phoenix rising out of the flames. What will rise? How will people join together to make a better Santa Monica? A better business model for themselves? A clearer understanding of working in today’s world.”

The growing pains of Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on learning will fuel studies for years to come. Certainly, every family will have stories to share of successful approaches vs. approaches less productive. But one thing is certain. There was never an option for Education to stop. In the months since SoCal schools of every grade level followed Governor Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order, hundreds of thousands of students, parents, partners, spouses, kids and teachers have found themselves swimming in uncharted waters. Students pre-school and primary through senior high; college undergrads through specialty degrees and PhDs; each have had to accept ambiguity and uncertainty as a long-term pop quiz. Teachers, professors, aids and administrators quickly shifted strategies from classroom- to online-based methods and technology. Parents and caregivers were thrust into role of tutor, teacher, and secretary. That combined spirit of adaptability and long-term vision ensures our history of successful learning will continue as long as we have students and teachers.

Wellness goes beyond doctors and hospitals. It starts with selfcare, and whether you’re just getting started or maintaining an existing regimen Santa Monica offers the perfect environment.

CEDARS-SINAI As one of the largest nonprofit academic medical centers in the U.S., Cedars-Sinai offers 886 licensed beds, 2,100 physicians, 2,800 nurses and thousands of other healthcare professionals and staff. Dedicated to providing care for everyone who needs it, Cedars Sinai’s clinical programs range from primary care for preventing, diagnosing and treating common conditions to specialized treatments for rare, complex and advanced illnesses. In addition, Cedars-Sinai serves the community through its Medical Network, which provides patients convenient access to primary and specialty care physicians and seamless care coordination.

patients can be confident in the network’s evolving procedures. “While our patients can continue to access our care through video visits or via phone, we’ve implemented a number of safety measures at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital and our many medical offices – including those in Santa Monica—to keep patients and staff safe when an in-person visit is necessary.” Lingel explains these measures include temperature checks for those entering facilities; universal masking of employees, physicians, patients and visitors; physical distancing in waiting areas and clinical areas; limiting visitors; and designating specific zones for COVID-19 patients, separating them from other patients as appropriate. “I think that it’s so important for our patients to understand that a big part of this effort has involved a tremendous focus on keeping our healthcare workers safe so they can safely provide care,” Lingel continues. “We’re maintaining social distancing and rigorous hand hygiene, wearing masks and thoroughly cleaning our environment. We are closely monitoring the situation and making adjustments as needed, always putting the health and safety of our patients and staff first.”

PROVIDENCE SAINT JOHN’S H E A LT H C E N T E R Providence Saint John’s Health Center has been serving the Santa Monica and westside Los Angeles County communities since 1942. Though he joined the hospital just last fall, Chief Executive of Providence Saint John’s Health Center and Board Chairman of Saint John’s Physician Partners Michael Ricks says the steadiness of compassion and service that has sustained the organization for nearly 80 years continues to guide them, even in COVID-19’s unpredictable medical circumstances. “I’ve never seen a team have to gel so quickly because of the emergent situation right in front of them and we did that,” he says. “It was amazing to have to orientate to a brand-new crisis requiring 24/7 leadership and to be able to do that, to quickly bond as a team, has been remarkable for us.” Ricks commends the adaptability and teamwork of the staff and its support networks. “Sometimes, even in hospitals, you have silos of different specialties. This crisis has caused all the ‘specialty silos’ to break down barriers; to put the best and brightest minds together across the whole organization to do what’s best for our patients and for this community.” He adds, “To see that work and the increased collaboration around an unknown disease has been miraculous and remarkable.” Named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for eight consecutive years, Providence Saint John’s offers a full spectrum of care
that includes leading-edge diagnostics and treatment. With a 266-bed hospital, outpatient health centers and numerous outreach programs and clinics, the nationally renowned Health Center has top notch physicians, nurses, volunteers and support staff who work as a team to provide the best possible medical care to patients and the community.
“Each patient is the guardian of a unique soul, deserving our unconditional commitment to unparalleled care.“
KAISER PERMANENTE “For 75 years, Kaiser Permanente has been committed to shaping the future of health and health care — and helping our members, patients, and communities live more healthy years,” says Jerry Yu, Chief Operating Officer, West Los Angeles Medical Center. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, that commitment still stands.” KP’s team has safely treated thousands of patients who have been infected with COVID-19 with limited risk to other patients, members and employees. The facility’s decades of experience confronting highly infectious diseases has prepared their team for coronavirus and its complications. “To help prevent the spread of COVID19, we continue to take many precautions at our facilities for the safety of our patients, members, visitors, vendors, employees and physicians,” Yu continues. “And by quickly scaling our existing services, Kaiser Permanente has been able to continue to deliver safe, high-quality care to millions of members during this unprecedented time.” Recognized as one of America’s leading health care providers and not-for-profit health plans, Kaiser Permanente provides high-quality, affordable health care services for its 11.8 million members. As they gradually welcome patients back into Kaiser facilities for primary and specialty care appointments and procedures, their focus is on the safety of members, patients, and staff. Following guidance from infectious disease and public health authorities, physical distancing in lobbies and waiting areas has been implemented; they also strictly adhere to mask requirements and visitor restrictions. In addition, facilities have separate evaluation and treatment areas for COVID-19 patients, so all can safely receive the care they need. These precautions, along with intensive cleaning and hygiene regimens, help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and create safe environments for all who need care.

2020-2021 Chamber Board Zoom Installation
BUILDING BUSINESS IS OUR BUSINESS
The Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce The Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers in the Southern California region. We have 800 members representing thousands of employees who live and work in this community. Since 1925 the Chamber has provided businesses a strong local platform to tap into the power of an established community of business owners and entrepreneurs.
the Chamber has been right alongside them every step of the way. We have made sure our elected and appointed government officials know what our businesses need, whether it’s grants and low-cost loans to keep the lights on and bills paid, or regulatory relief to make structural repairs a little easier, the Chamber has been the voice of business during these unprecedented times.
OUR MISSION:
VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING
Through our efforts in membership, economic development and advocacy, we create the environment to help our members prosper and succeed. This is accomplished through a proactive working partnership with all levels of government and community organizations to achieve a strong local economy and high quality of life.
With the cancellation of in-person meetings, the Chamber has moved its business online. And with the economic devastation brought by the pandemic and government shutdowns, the Chamber has updated its programming to be more timely and relevant than ever.
ADVOCACY: THE VOICE OF BUSINESS
Like everyone else, the Chamber has had to adapt to the new realities 2020 has thrown at us. From global pandemic to social unrest, our businesses are facing new challenges, and 38 I

LOBBYING
The Chamber has responded to this extraordinary moment by stepping up its lobbying efforts. Joining with 100 chambers around the country under the banner of the Save Small Business Coalition, the Chamber has called on our federal representatives to create an America’s
2020-2021 B U S I N E S S , R E LO C AT I O N & CO M M U N I T Y G U I D E
Recovery Fund to open up liquidity for small businesses that have been devastated by the pandemic-induced shutdowns. The Chamber has also worked closely with our city government to assess the needs of our businesses and get things done. We circulated a survey to identify the top concerns and wishes of our local industries, and then set about working with our city to implement them. At the top of the list, we successfully lobbied the city to extend the deadlines on pending development permits. The pandemic put a lot of projects in jeopardy by freezing financing. Santa Monica went above and beyond what neighboring cities have done, extending these deadlines up to two years, giving important projects a chance to recover their financing and ultimately get off the ground. We also worked with the city to: relax parking enforcement in our business districts, allowing restaurants to use parking meters as a free pick-up zone for customers ordering food; expand alcohol sales to include takeout and delivery, opening up a lucrative revenue stream for restaurants which had to close their dining rooms and bars; and create a one-stop “Open for Business” map where local businesses could list themselves as open for takeout, delivery, or online service. LAND USE COMMITTEE
The Land Use Committee brings together the Chamber’s industry experts–architects, attorneys, builders–to discuss pending issues affecting land use in Santa Monica. The Land Use Committee played an active role in developing the Downtown Community Plan and continues to work with City staff as new issues arise. smchamber.com/landuse RESTAURANT COMMITTEE
The Restaurant Committee meets to discuss issues of importance to this vital sector of the Santa Monica economy. The Committee worked closely with City staff to educate restaurants on new rules governing utensils and take-out containers, and successfully lobbied for a grace period to enable restaurants to better comply with this green initiative. HOTEL COUNCIL
Santa Monica is one of the leading travel destinations in the world. Tourism and hospitality bring 8.7 million visitors and nearly $2 billion into Santa Monica every year. The Hotel Council gathers Santa Monica’s leading hotels to discuss and advocate for this critical economic generator. smchamber.com/hotel-council-committee/

NAVIGATING LEGAL ISSUES Protecting your business & future Hiring a business attorney is critical to starting and running a small business. You’ve analyzed your competition, studied your target customer, and received funding for your new business. Your accountant says you have a strong strategic plan for growth. Now it’s time to lease office space and hire employees – right? Think again. The input of a valuable partner is missing - input that could mean the success or failure of a small business - input from a business attorney. True, retaining an attorney can be costly. Yet, not retaining an attorney can cost a business even more. Going it alone can result in missed opportunities, business interruptions, expensive liabilities and the potential for legal action. There are many legal issues that need to be addressed when running a business. It’s critical to have a lawyer who can anticipate every possible twist or turn and who knows how to react to each development. Initially, a business owner will need to determine if the company should be registered as a sole proprietorship, general partnership, LLC, LLP, or corporation. Laws governing these different business forms vary, especially in areas such as personal liability for business 42 I

debts and business tax obligations. Different business structures provide different protections and risk to the business owner. When a business is at risk, the owner may be personally liable thus jeopardizing everything s/he owns. An attorney can help a business owner decide which type of corporate structure is best for his/her needs and type of business. In the marketplace, a business is defined by its brand and the intellectual property that illustrates that brand. All are entitled to legal protection. Intellectual property also includes proprietary designs, discoveries, inventions, processes, symbols, music and other private, business-related information. Trademark, copyright and patent registrations help a business protect those things that differentiate it among customers and clients. A trademark legally registers words, names and symbols that identify the source of a product. Protection from plagiarism of original writing is provided by copyright registration. Patents give owners the right to keep others from making, using or offering an exclusive item for sale. Contracts are another minefield through

which an attorney can show a path. Company owners will do business with many people: landlords, suppliers, service providers, customers, independent contractors and their own employees. Many of these transactions will require written contracts. Businesses lease many different types of facilities, from offices and warehouses to manufacturing and retail space. A lease is a binding agreement and dictates how and when the property may be used. An attorney will be able to tell if the agreement is appropriate for an owner’s business activities. Sales contracts detail the terms of a transaction including how and when payment is to be made. Companies that operate without formal sales and service contracts leave themselves open to disruptions in the flow of supplies, merchandise and essential services. An attorney will ensure the terms are beneficial for all parties. Employment contracts can be particularly tricky. Legal protections, liabilities and relationships will vary depending on the working relationship. An employee contract details the terms of employment including pay, benefits and full- or part-time status. The employee works for the business detailed in the contract. However, many businesses also hire independent contractors. Because an independent contractor is exactly that – independent and not an employee – the terms of an agreement will be quite different. Other legal documents include an employee handbook, a confidentiality statement, and non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. A lawyer who knows small business will be able to review and negotiate beneficial contracts and employment materials. The best time to hire an attorney is before one is needed. A good attorney will not be cheap, but neither will be the liabilities you face without one. You can find the name of a qualified professional in your Chamber directory. Make that call today!

THE LAW OFFICES OF ARTHUR G. LESMEZ, PC The Law Offices of Arthur G. Lesmez, PC (www.LOAGL.com), was founded by Mr. Lesmez in 1996. A lawyer since 1985, Mr. Lesmez was admitted to the California Bar after completing his undergraduate education at Syracuse University (New York), and his legal education at California Western School of Law in San Diego. For a period of 6 years, while in college and afterward, Mr. Lesmez was a licensed paramedic in New York, where he grew up. Well before that, Mr. Lesmez achieved the rank of Eagle Scout while a member of The Boys Scouts of America. For the first 12 years of his legal career, Mr. Lesmez gained experience working first for an insurance company and then private law firms, one with offices statewide. While at these firms, he defended large corporations, trucking companies, insurance companies, hospitals, doctors and municipalities in negligence cases where they were defendants. After this period, Mr. Lesmez considered his background, experience and knowledge
in civil liability and insurance defense, and determined that helping individuals who had been injured and the families of those who had lost their lives in cases involving the negligence of others was his true calling. He had always been a helper of others, and his defense background gave him a unique perspective on helping plaintiffs that not every other attorney in this area had. The firm grew from a single lawyer firm to its present configuration. Lawyers at LOAGL handle a wide variety of general civil litigation matters with an emphasis on negligence law, as it relates to personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, premises liability and medical malpractice matters from inception through settlement or trial. The firm also handles civil restraining orders for individuals needing them or those who find themselves facing such situations and needing help. With an extensive background in civil defense litigation, experience as a provider of pre-hospital critical care in emergency
medical situations, as a paramedic, and now over 30 years representing individuals, Mr. Lesmez brings a unique and very helpful perspective to his client’s cases and to the leadership of his firm. The firm’s lawyers are admitted to practice before all State and Federal courts in California, as well as The Courts of Appeal and the Supreme Court of the State of California. In 1996, Mr. Lesmez was personally admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States of America. An extremely strong negotiator, Mr. Lesmez has settled cases for over $1 million. At trial he has been fortunate enough to obtain verdicts for his clients in the multimillion dollar range. Finding a lawyer for an injury case or to assert the rights of a family in a wrongful death matter can be difficult… there are so many… . How do you find a great one? How do you find the right one? Give yourself the winning edge by making your first call to the law firm led by the lawyer with a unique combination of knowledge and experience very rarely found in other lawyers.

1 3 5 7 9
Membership brings credibility to your business.
You can increase positive perception among consumers and business owners when you are identified as a member of a Chamber of Commerce.
Create networking opportunities.
Chambers have numerous committees and serving on one provides numerous networking opportunities as well as professional leadership development. Build your business while promoting developments of keen interest to local businesses and the community at large.
Make business contacts.
The Chamber’s most fundamental mission is to generate more business activity for the community. The Chamber initiates more business-to-business commerce and more opportunities for networking and connecting local professionals than is available through most other local organizations.
Acquire customer referrals.
Every day, your local chamber receives calls from individuals and businesses looking for potential vendors, and chamber members typically recommend other chamber members.
Increase your visibility in the community.
You get the strong visibility of listings in the Chamber Business Guide, website, newsletters and social media sites. You can sponsor Chamber events and fundraisers, which should generate goodwill in the community. The Chamber also promotes your grand opening/ ribbon-cutting ceremony and assists with public relations efforts.

Add promotion and publicity.
With a Chamber membership, you can reach potential clients through member exclusive advertising and opportunities for business-tobusiness advertising and publicity.
Gain a voice in government.
The local Chamber takes on the tough issues and opposes new regulations, taxes, fees, assessments and costs directed at small businesses. It also helps protect the principles of free enterprise and aids businesses in being treated fairly.
Receive Chamber newsletters.
Newsletters provide new member information, interesting information about operating a local business, articles about the local community, a community calendar and details about up-and-coming chamber events, among other things.
Attend Chamber events & programs.
Chamber events and programs provide members with interesting opportunities to get to know new people and expand their prospect base. Chamber events are innovative and fun ways to help members meet potential customers, clients and vendors— and generate new business leads.
Get Information.
Your Chamber is a one-stop source for regional and national information important for the success of your business. Newsletters offer community updates and information. The community calendar lets you plan to attend important events — don’t underestimate the promotional value of these occasions.
