Chamber Hosts Fourth Annual
Mayor Garrad Marsh spoke to a standing room only crowd on February 6, 2013 at the DoubleTree Hotel. The Mayor discussed Modesto’s positives and negatives, and that we can’t continue to do the same thing and expect a different result. Marsh also shared some of his new ideas for 2013. While public safety and the Salida annexation were the issues discussed at greatest length, the Mayor also spoke about economic development and better education for our at risk youth. Mayor Marsh recogonized 20 of his Top Teens who were present at the event and Chamber President Cecil Russell challenged the audience to support the Top Teen program with donations and participation. The Mayor closed by stating that we must think anew and make changes to get a different result.

Luncheon
Following his presentation, George Petrulakis facilitated a question and answer period during which the Mayor and City Manager Greg Nyhoff answered a wide range of questions from the audience. This event continues to grow each year, creating an atmosphere where audience participation is encouraged through the Q&A process. The Chamber thanks the event’s many sponsors, without whom important events such as these (from left to right) Police Chief Galen Carroll, would not be possible.
