Hi Members, THANK YOU! Several weeks ago, we finally had the opportunity to celebrate in person for our 97th Awards Banquet! What a night! It was an amazing opportunity to share and recognize accomplishments, dedicated individuals, and businesses. The night was so rememberable as we got to see many people that we haven’t seen in two years!

It felt so good to be back in person having that social connection. It was also amazing how much support the Chamber has in our community. It was a long two years looking back at 2020. We not only survived but were able to have many accomplishments! I want to thank each volunteer, committee member, board member, sponsor, and Chamber member for supporting us, participating, and investing in our community in a time of need.

I was also pleased to see so many of our partners attend--Thank you everyone for your support!

Now that we were able to celebrate 2021! It is time to look forward to 2022. We are ready to be back in action! Please join us whether it is Greeters, the Wine Stroll, Lemonade Day, Concerts in the Park or an upcoming candidate forum. This year we are doing it all!

Check out our website www.grantspasschamber.org for all upcoming opportunities!

ogue Roasters is a hub for all people. From the professional business man to the traveling vagabond. We have a passion for crafting small batch Organic Coffee and pride ourselves on creating an environment that anyone can call their second home. At Rogue we create community through a common love for great coffee.

Rogue Roasters set down roots in Josephine county in 2007/2008 where we roasted coffee out of a storage unit selling bags of coffee out of the backdoor. In this setting Rogue Roasters fell in love with the valley and its community. Sharing nothing more than just the love of great coffee we decided to move our operation from Rogue River Hwy to downtown grants pass. It was here our love for the Rogue Valley and its community came into its prime. The people of this valley gave us the confidence to focus our craft of roasting Organic Coffee, we channeled that support by going on to win Best Coffee in Oregon in 2013.

We still reside in Grants Pass with great pride. We have expanded to a 6000 sq foot facility on 6th and K St where we now offer an even greater variety of Organic Coffee, breakfast and lunch.

The Young Professionals Network is for young professionals in the target age range of 18-45 who are looking for networking opportunities with other young professionals, connections to the community and business leaders, community engagement, and professional development. The network holds monthly luncheons, quarterly socials, and community service projects.

Asante, Midland Empire Insurance, First Interstate Bank, Logan Design, Farmer’s Building & Garden Supply, Jim Sigel Automotive, Hampton Inn & Suites, RE/MAX Integrity-Bifano Home Team, Weekend Beer Co., and NiceBadge

The Young Professional Network had a great turnout for our Quarterly Social. We were invited to tour the newly opened Steam Distillery.

This was an excellent evening of reconnecting and networking all while supporting a great cause, the Grants Pass Kiwanis Kaden’s Kids. For every Hometown Mule drink sold, Steam donated $1 to help local children battling cancer. The Bifano Home Team is matching funds raised.

Our next event in April will be the Monthly Luncheon on Tuesday, April 19th, 11:45am-1:00pm at Hampton Inn & Suites. Lunch will be provided by Asante.

Bring a business card to be entered into a drawing for a gift card to a local business.

Rentec Direct announces the acquisition of Bay Area property management software company, TrueRent!

GRANTS PASS, ORE. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2022 Rentec Direct, the industry-leading property management software solution, has acquired TrueRent, an all-in-one property management system designed for property owners and property managers to save time and streamline tenant interaction. Rentec Direct and TrueRent officially entered an acquisition agreement on January 20, 2022.

“TrueRent is an outstanding company who has not only built a platform that ultimately serviced tens of thousands of property managers, but also holds core values that include providing an innovative product and amazing customer support to their clients,” said Nathan Miller, President of Rentec Direct. “We found that our values aligned well with theirs, and are pleased to give their clients even more options for streamlining their real estate business by providing them an automated migration path to the Rentec Direct platform.”

Founded in 2009, Rentec Direct is one of the highest-rated professional property management software solutions on the market and the third-largest property management software system in its sector. The company serves more than 25,000 landlords and property managers who own over 750,000 units across the country. TrueRent was founded in 2013 and has continued to grow

22

and innovate over the years by providing essential features integrated into one accessible and affordable software. Both companies were founded as a result of two entrepreneurs investing in and managing rental properties themselves, finding inefficiencies in the industry as their real estate portfolios began to grow.

“We have always strived to provide user-centric software, with exceptional service and enhanced features,” said Haley Anastassiou, Co-Founder of TrueRent. “We shared a vision with Rentec Direct and feel confident knowing our customers will be in great hands.”

All TrueRent subscribers now have access to a Rentec Direct property management software account, and an automated data migration process to move their data to the new platform that has extensive features and award-winning customer service. Rentec Direct began migrating TrueRent client data to the Rentec Direct platform on February 9, 2022 and TrueRent will formally discontinue operations on March 20, 2022.

To learn more about Rentec Direct’s acquisition of TrueRent, visit: https://www.rentecdirect. com/blog/rentec-direct-acquires-truerent-property-management-software/.
