David Nydegger, Chamber CEO, Retires after 18 years David L. Nydegger, a resident of Southern California since he was an infant, has had a lifelong commitment to academic development and public service. After attending the Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad, he went on to graduate from the US Naval Academy at Annapolis with a Bachelor of Science degree, later earning a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.

He was married for 46 years to the love of his life Diane Kwolik and together they had two daughters, Kinley and Abrey.

After service in the US Navy, including 2 tours in Vietnam, David moved back home to Oceanside and worked in the newspaper industry for more than 17 years, eventually becoming the publisher of the Daily Sun Post newspaper in San Clemente.

After leaving newspaper publishing, he has been a leader in the chamber of commerce industry for more than 20 years, starting as CEO of the San Clemente Chamber of Commerce. In 1998, he became the President and CEO of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce which supports 650 members.

One of his career highlights was producing the “Defenders of Freedom Parade” in Oceanside in 2003 where 12,000 Marines and Sailors from the First Marine Expeditionary Force (1MEF) marched through Oceanside.

It was the largest military parade in the US since WWll. David also spearheaded “Operation Appreciation”, a military event that honors active-duty military and their dependents each Armed Forces Day. A 1999 graduate of the US Chamber Institute for Organization Management at UCLA, David was named by the Western Association of Chamber Executives as an A.C.E. Accredited Chamber Executive in 2000 and re-accredited in 2005 and 2010. He also served as the President of the Southern California Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (SCACCE), the President of the North County Chamber Association of San Diego County and served on the board of (WACE) the Western Association of Chamber Executives.

In addition to his Chamber duties, David was an adjunct instructor in business and marketing at MiraCosta College for over 30 years.

He will be greatly missed by the Chamber staff, Board of Directors and Chamber members. David is looking forward to retirement and spending more time with his daughters and four grandchildren. While he has plans to travel extensively, Oceanside will remain his home.

Chamber supports Measure MM MiraCosta College to Modernize and Renovate Facilities Through Measure MM The numbers don’t lie. MiraCosta College offers job training and educational opportunities for 1,800 military veterans and their families each year.

MiraCosta College offers a cost-effective, postsecondary option for more than 1 in 3 high school graduates in the area. MiraCosta College works closely with local industries, including biotechnology and health care companies, in strengthening the regional economy, a prized community investment that equates to a $338.4 million impact annually to North San Diego County.

MIRACOSTA COLLEGE

YES on

MM

STUDENTS • VETERANS • JOB TRAINING

MiraCosta College offers that and more to all of us who live and work in North County’s diverse communities.

Which is why the Oceanside Chamber, Carlsbad Chamber, San Diego Coastal Chamber, the San Diego County Taxpayer Association, and leaders from Carmel Valley to Camp Pendleton are supporting Proposition MM, a measure that would raise an estimated $455 million in locally controlled funding to repair and improve the aging facilities.

Tri-City Medical Center Launches One-Day, Single-Dose Radiation Treatment for Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients Now available, IORT will reduce the number of radiation doses and speed treatment for candidate patients with early stage breast cancer under strict protocol.

Early-stage breast cancer patients meeting specific selection criteria now have a one-day, single-dose breast cancer treatment option thanks to a new intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) program being launched this month at Tri-City Medical Center.

Tri-City Medical Center is the only hospital in North County to offer IORT and among the first in San Diego County.

Working together, Tri-City Medical Center’s radiation oncologists and breast cancer surgeons will use IORT to deliver a full, concentrated dose of radiation at the time of the patient’s lumpectomy, targeting cancer cells and sparing healthy tissue, such as the skin, heart, lungs and ribs. Traditional breast cancer treatment requires daily radiation five days per week for three to six weeks through external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).

IORT requires only one day for treatment and delivers radiation via internal balloon catheter rather than through external radiation.

“IORT puts less stress on our patients’ skin and organs while giving them peace of mind that they can complete treatment as quickly as possible,” said Dr. Kathy Toosie, a breast surgical oncologist at Tri-City Medical Center.

“Traditional treatment programs can be very difficult on women who have careers or are primary caregivers.

For stage 1 patients that meet our treatment criteria and stage 2 patients that qualify for our clinical trial, we look forward to helping them return to their normal daily lives sooner.”

“IORT treatments are wonderful options for women with early breast cancers,” said Dr. James Urbanic, radiation oncology medical director at UC San Diego Radiation Oncology, North County. Dr. Urbanic will be supporting the delivery of intra-operative radiation oncology at Tri-City Medical Center as part of the medical center’s www.oceansidechamber.com

Fall 2016

affiliation with UC San Diego Health. “IORT represents an additional choice that will help to better tailor treatment to an individual’s preferences and needs while preserving the overall cure rate. We are excited to be part of this program,” he added.

Major studies have shown IORT is effective, but with fewer side effects than traditional radiation for appropriate patients.

To conduct its IORT therapy, Tri-City Medical Center is equipped with the Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx®) System®, which is FDA cleared, CE marked and licensed in a growing number of countries for the treatment of cancer anywhere in the body, including early-stage breast cancer, gynecological cancers, and non-melanoma skin cancer.

The Xoft System uses a proprietary miniaturized x-ray source, which is inserted into a flexible balloonshaped applicator, then temporarily placed inside the lumpectomy cavity. A full course of radiation is then administered in a single dose, lasting as little as eight minutes, which directly targets cancer cells.

You are never too old to learn something new. The future holds visions of adding a new virtual assistant service and work with authors and speakers.

An active member of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, a story I like to tell often is my first encounter with the Chamber. Having just moved to Oceanside and knowing no one and having zero contacts in this area, I decided I needed to join the Chamber.

The first event I attended was a 5-minute networking event held jointly with the Carlsbad Chamber. At that event, I met three people who said I needed to meet a special lady who did the same thing I did. I followed their advice and made an instant friend and mentor. From that one, first event, I had a basis to move my business from Orange County to Oceanside.

MiraCosta College to Modernize and Renovate Facilities Through Measure MM

MIRACOSTA COLLEGE

YES on

MM

Continued from Page 3...

It has been 55 years – John F. Kennedy was in the White House speaking to us through black-and-white television sets – since voters passed a MiraCosta College bond measure. In order to continue its vital role training local students with modern skills to compete in today’s rapidly changing economy, it’s time to improve MiraCosta College classrooms, labs and STUDENTS • VETERANS • JOB TRAINING instructional technology.

Measure MM would upgrade MiraCosta career training facilities for science, health care, technology and skilled trades. Measure MM also would update instructional technology for improved student learning in core subjects like math, science and technology. Facilities for veterans that provide job training, counseling and other support services would be improved and expanded, adding to such groundbreaking efforts as the new Veterans Business Outreach Center – the only program of its kind in Southern California. Plus, it would help improve access for students with disabilities and repair or replace plumbing that is deteriorating and roofs that leak.

By state law, not one penny generated through Measure MM can be spent on faculty, staff or administrator salaries or pensions. What’s more, an independent citizens’ oversight committee will review all expenses and provide reports to the community to ensure that all funds are spent as promised.

MiraCosta College is an essential part of the North County economy, and leading local employers rely on our specialized training programs and skills of our graduates. In less than a year, MiraCosta will become the first community college in the state to offer a Bachelor of Science in Biomanufacturing, a program that was developed in close collaboration with our corporate business partners.

Chamber Welcomes Marines and Sailors to Local Community

November 8 Election Day Get out and vote!

Each Wednesday, Marine & Family Services on Camp Pendleton hosts a “Welcome Aboard” briefing for Marines and Sailors newly stationed at the Base. Over the summer, Chamber staff members began attending the weekly briefings to say a few words of welcome to the service members and to encourage them to visit Oceanside. Each service member is given an Oceanside “goodie bag” with copies of the Chamber’s publications and discount offers from a wide variety of local businesses. Chamber members who are interested in including a coupon in the bag should contact the Chamber office at (760) 722-1534.
