ugust 18th is my five-year anniversary officially working at the Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce!

What a ride! Hard to believe I have been in the Chamber industry for 13 years! I feel so blessed to find a place that I love to work with and an amazing staff. Every anniversary I love looking back to see how far we have come as an organization--It is a great time to reflect.

Regardless of the wrenches that were thrown in with (COVID), the Chamber has continued to prosper. We are happy to report we are at an all-time high membership-wise, and overall health as an organization.

When I stepped into this role I had specific markers of growth in mind, and I am pleased we are moving strongly towards these goals. We have been able to establish a healthy savings account and started investing. We have a long list of maintenance projects and tender, love and care that has been put into the Chamber building and equipment. We are grateful to our grant partners that have made these upgrades possible and while acknowledging there is still a lot more to do, we are excited with our significant progress!

As our membership numbers increase, we have also been able to bump another employee up to a full-time position. Today, we have three full-time employees and one parttime. This allows us to better serve you as a member.

To top it off, we were also able to implement two new programs that were so needed in our community: Young Professional Network and Lemonade Day. Both programs serve our younger generation to develop the next generation of leaders! We are now currently working on a Leadership Development Class and maybe adding more to the project list in 2024!

I have loved every minute of this journey and am looking forward to many more. I really appreciate each one of our members, volunteers, and staff members that have made these accomplishments possible. Each time I hear that the Chamber of Commerce has made an impact on their business or life, I know we are on the right mission. Thanks for your support. Chamber Works!

12 WAYS

Plan for the Unexpected!

Whether it’s a house fire or a wildfire, there are certain steps you can take to make sure your property and belongings can be replaced if disaster strikes. Most people have a smart phone, or know someone who does, that can video or take pictures of the outside and inside of your house. This is a simple way to document what you have. If lost in a fire, you can refer back to these to remember what you had instead of trying to recall everything from memory. Make sure you and your family practice fire drills and how to exit the home to safety. Check smoke detectors annually to insure they are functioning properly. It’s a great idea to keep a fire extinguisher in your house.

Keep the outside of your home clean and orderly; remove leaves and debris from your roof and gutters. The most important area around your home is from the house itself out to 5 feet from the perimeter of your home, remove all landscaping and flammable plants including tree branch overhang above the roof. From 5 to 30 feet make sure to clear dead vegetation and limb up trees. Make sure tree canopies are not touching and shrubs are trimmed down.

Taking these steps in advance could make all the difference during a very stressful time.

Document and Insure Property

Your home, your personal belongings, and your business are meaningful and valuable assets. If a disaster strikes, having insurance for your home or business property is the best way to ensure you will have the necessary financial resources to help you repair, rebuild, or replace whatever is damaged. Yet, more than half of all homeowners in the United States do not carry adequate homeowners insurance to replace their home and its contents should a catastrophic loss occur.

Not all insurance policies are the same. Coverage amounts, deductibles, and payment caps can vary significantly. Consult with your insurance professional to be sure your policy is right for you. It is also important to review your policy annually to remind yourself of your coverage and to make any updates based on new purchases, renovations, increases in property value, or increases in costs to rebuild or replace items.

Now, before a disaster strikes, take the time to:

Rural Metro Fire announces two firefighters who were recently recognized for outstanding achievements Part-time firefighter, Reilly Knable was issued an Outstanding Performance Citation for his calm and professional care of a passenger involved in a traumatic crash on Upper River Road back in April. Firefighter Knable was able to provide life-saving bleeding control and patient stabilization in assistance to the paramedic, as fellow rescue crews performed the delicate task of extricating the occupants from the wreckage that was pinned against a tree. Firefighter Knable had only been an EMT for a couple of months at the time of this assignment, yet his crew remarked he performed as a seasoned veteran.

Full-time Firefighter, Alan Zeltvay, was recently promoted to the rank of Engineer, having completed the entire program centered on the NFPA ‘Apparatus Equipped with Fire Pump’ curriculum. With additional training imposed by Rural Metro Fire that exceeded 500 indicative contact hours that included performance refinement using challenging scenarios, and showing comprehension with formal hydraulic calculations, he received commendable scores across the board. In addition to the promotion, Engineer Zeltvay was also appointed to a permanent “Company Officer” position, where he will be leading his engine crew at the Wilderville Station on B-Shift.

Rural Metro Fire congratulates these two on their dedication to excellence in service to our community, and we are proud to have them on our team. Good job, guys!

In July YPN group meet for a Panel Discussion on Grant Writing. Our goal was to dive into tips and tricks for grant writing from different perspectives. Our panel consisted of Teresa Stover from the Josephine Community Library for a writing perspective, Rene Brandon of the Southern Oregon Early Learning Services for a grant recipient perspective, and Amy Renfro with the Oregon Community Foundation for a funders perspective.

Topics of discussion covered what a grant is, steps in writing a grant, how to make your grant stand out, along with common mistakes. This was such an information packed session with so many great takeaways, some stand out information; ensure your grant proposal fits in line with the funder’s goals and mission, the funder does not care about what you’re doing with your business as they care more about what you are doing for the community and if you were not awarded the grant, ask for feedback to aid you in future grant proposals.

Our group was excited to learn that NOA offers Rogue Valley Nonprofit Workshops on grant writing.

Thank you to Asante for hosting our group in your beautiful facility and for providing a delicious taco bar for our attendees.

For August, we will have a volunteer opportunity on the 4th at 5:15pm for the Adopt-A-Street program.

We meet at Weekend Beer Company. On the August 17th we will be hosting our Quarterly Social at Partake Shop, Lounge & Dine. This will be a 21+ event.
