“Be Yourself. Everyone Else is Taken” - Oscar Wilde If you were to think of a reputable brand, what would come to mind? Amazon? Apple? Nike? Oprah? Bill Gates? A strong and positive brand reputation, for both companies and individual professionals, take years to build and earn respect from consumers and peers. Communicating and managing brands in our complex business environment, combined with our hyperconnected, unforgiving social media era demands clear, concise, and credible messaging. What takes years to build can be lost in a moment’s notice. Whether it’s through poor personal or professional actions that damages workplace or industry relationships or when thoughtless, illplanned and ill-timed messaging on social media channels can unravel a reputation within seconds. When a crisis hits, companies and public figures have teams of communication and/or reputation management experts and lawyers guiding and advising what to say and how and when to say it. They pay top dollar for damage control. On the other hand, if you’re an individual professional in a crisis, you don’t have the luxury of others managing your brand. Your personal brand is managed by YOU. Which begs the following question – what is a personal brand?
“Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.” – Jeff Bezos, Amazon According to our fellow Roseville Area Chamber Member, Lisa Heinrich, Managing Partner/ Communication Strategist for Big Brand Theory; A personal brand is the total experience of the relationship others have with who you are and what you stand for as an individual and a leader – and how you live your personal brand every day regardless of the circumstances.
Developing and solidifying a personal brand is NOT ABOUT SELF PROMOTION. Your brand is fundamentally about understanding your intentions, your contributions, and what people can depend on you to consistently deliver.
Key questions to consider: • Your value proposition – What do you stand for and what is your enduring idea? • Key differentiators – What makes YOU stand out? • Marketability – What makes your story compelling? Credible? • Impression – What is the primary experience you deliver to others? Are you in control of your reputation? • Lasting reputation – Who do you serve? What makes you relevant? Let’s be clear, you are in control of your personal brand. Control doesn’t mean you must act a part or believe you can manipulate how others experience you. It’s just the opposite. When you are in control of your personal brand, you are more deliberate with your intentions, confident in your actions, responsible with purpose-driven messaging, and pro-active to admitting when things don’t go your way – promptly addressing and resolving any situation that may arise. Take a moment and ask yourself about your personal brand. How are you being perceived in your workplace, in your industry, on social media? A seemingly innocuous action or comment can snowball, fueling the rumor mill in the work place or within minutes go viral on social media. Protecting your personal brand requires a comprehensive strategy – and If you are not paying attention to your brand, someone else will.

NEWS FROM THE CEO
Chamber Staff Chief Executive Officer Wendy Gerig
Vote YES on Measure B
It’s Time for Roseville to Prosper Wendy Gerig CEO I had the pleasure of attending a meeting held by City Manager, Dominic Casey in September where he presented the City of Roseville’s budget. This November, we all have a very important choice for the future of Roseville, will we choose as a city to prosper for years to come or fall short for our fellow residents and fiscally.
The problems facing Roseville
Roseville has always been a blossoming community where businesses thrive, schools are excellent, and residents feel safe, but recently as our city has grown tremendously, our city is beginning to be unable to afford the high-quality services that we all enjoy. The challenges that the city is facing include a $1-3 million reduction in services, expenses are growing faster than revenues, and under-funding long-term obligations by $13-14 million annually.
What the City has done in the meantime
Our City government has done their best ensuring that our city doesn’t fall deep in debt. At the recommendation of EngageRoseville, the City of Roseville has reduced staffing on two of the City’s fire trucks, closed the libraries on Fridays, reduced the Maidu Museum and History Site hours, eliminated several vacant positions including fire and police jobs, decreased park and facility maintenance levels, and suspended citywide park construction.
City priorities = your priorities
The City of Roseville doesn’t want to keep having to shrink services that many of us have grown familiar to and rely on. Both the City government and the City Council have outlined priorities that include road repairs and maintenance, keeping the libraries open for more hours, advancing

Director of Administration Amy Triplett
Director of Membership & Programs Dani Hanlon
economic development with job creation and start up initiatives, increased business recruitment and communications, adding more police officers and fire personnel, and creating a recession fund to get us through any tough times that may arise.
What is Measure B?
Events & Sponsorship Coordinator Kevin Hernandez
Communications Specialist Emily Hoffman
You might be thinking about now, “what can I do to help?” and the answer is, VOTE! On November 6th when you go to your polling place, be an informed voter and vote YES on Measure B to maintain the quality of life that we all love in Roseville. Measure B is a ½ cent sales tax increase raising our city’s sales tax from 7.25% to 7.75%. Roseville has one of the lowest sales tax percentages in the state and even with this ½ cent increase, we are still one of the lowest in the regions.
Membership Retention Representative
The potential for Roseville
Business Development Representative
If Measure B passes this November, it will support just what it says it will on the November ballot, Protecting Roseville’s Public Safety, Roads and Essential Services. Measure B will generate an estimated $16-19 million annually to protect the services that matter most. Public libraries would return to being open five days a week, more local police officers will be able to respond to incidents and accidents, and there would be a safety net to allow our city to continue to flourish even when tough times hit.
The Fiscal Responsibility of Measure B
If Measure B passes in November, the funds generated from this increase would be legally required to stay in Roseville and cannot be taken by the State. In addition to this protection, there would be an independent citizen oversight committee and regular financial audits to ensure that the funds are supporting essential City services. Measure B would take effect in April of 2019 and would remain in effect until we as voters decide to end it.
Vote for Measure B, it’s Chamber endorsed!
The Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Yes on Measure B to maintain the high quality of life that we currently enjoy in Roseville.

COUNTY UPDATES Keeping you informed:
Placer County 2018, A Review of a Year of Accomplishments Jack Duran Placer County District 1 Supervisor As I look back at the past year, and reflect on all of the county’s accomplishments, I am proud of the amazing team of professionals who are dedicated to improving our quality of life. It’s no wonder Placer County tops the list for best quality of life in California. I know many of you are enjoying holiday traditions this season, and hope you are finding time to relax with family and friends. Those truly are the special times. As I prepare to leave office in January, my heart is filled with pride to have been humbly allowed to serve the residents of Placer County’s District 1. That said, permit me to take a look back at this year’s county accomplishments.
Fairgrounds
One of the most exciting projects of 2018 has to be the renovation of the Placer County Fairgrounds in Roseville, which now promises to become a central focal point for the county and the entire region. Both Jones and Johnson halls were completely renovated, new and accessible parking was added along with interior walkways. If you have not yet had a chance to visit, make some time. I promise it will be worth it. The county is also making steady progress in the planning stages of a 130,000-square foot multi-purpose events/sports complex with a commercial kitchen. This is the next project to complement the fairground’s comprehensive renovation effort. The environmental impact report for the events/sports complex is now available for review and public input. The Fairgrounds, or @The Grounds, as it is now known, is a community gem. We thank Placer Valley Tourism and the Fairgrounds Revitalization Committee for their willingness to partner with the county. This is a great example of how significant projects can be accomplished when interested parties are willing to work together towards a common goal.
Placer Ranch and Sunset Area Plan
We continue to make steady progress on the Placer Ranch Specific Plan and the Sunset Area Plan, two of the largest and most important projects in the area. Both are working their way through the environmental review process and the public could see environmental documents available for review and input as soon as the

end of this year. Encompassing more than 2,200 acres, Placer Ranch will eventually be home to about 4,000 residents, thousands of square feet of retail and commercial property along with open space. The specific plan also includes a thoroughfare, known as Placer Parkway, which will connect Highway 65 with Interstate 5 and provide relief for the congestion that currently clogs the 65/I-80 interchange. The Sunset Area will be the regional job center that supports a healthy tax base. With nearly 9,000 acres, the Sunset Area is seen as an economic driver featuring commercial, industrial, warehousing and distribution along with high tech businesses that will employ thousands of primary wage earners. We are developing plans to build the necessary infrastructure.
Higher Education
Placer Ranch will also be home to a 300acre satellite campus for Sacramento State University. We hope the proposed campus will eventually serve 25,000 students and employ 5,000 people. Sierra College also intends to co-locate a transfer center on the site that will serve an additional 5,000 students. Couple those two institutions of higher education with William Jessup University nearby in Rocklin, and Regional University in South Placer and we will have a trio of higher educational opportunities for our residents and interested students from all over the area.
Homelessness
This year also saw significant changes for the region’s homeless population. Again the county homeless population was reduced by 12 percent, while other jurisdictions saw the problem increase by double digits. The Board of Supervisors awarded shelter operations to the Gathering Inn, a new contractor that is committed to helping shelter guests transition from homelessness. Addressing the root causes of the problem is vital, which is a 180-degree turn from the past practice of merely providing shelter and food. As we head into 2019, I encourage all residents to come together on this issue. Government, business, non-profits and citizens alike must contribute to the solution.
Cannabis
The legalization of marijuana for recreational use was approved by California voters in November 2017, and this year Placer County adopted an ordinance to govern cultivation of medical cannabis for personal use. While this has been a controversial issue, the Board of Supervisors worked together to stay ahead of the issue in order to retain local control. The consensus was to disallow commercial cannabis activity, but now the board is exploring a policy change to allow a medical cannabis research lab. I remain committed to advancing research and testing to better understand the medical benefits of cannabinoids found in cannabis. Research and analytical testing of cannabis will also be a catalyst for attracting top paying jobs and science based businesses to the County.
Business Resource Center
Continuing its commitment to the business community, the county opened the Placer Business Resource Center in Rocklin this past April. The center’s staff is available to help business owners navigate through regulatory and permitting processes such as: business licenses, zoning, land use and building permits. Workshops and classes are also presented by highly-experienced business experts and include a wide array of topics ranging from business basics and business plan development to financing for small businesses and accounting. Free and confidential advising is available by appointment to help our would-be entrepreneurs find success in our economicallyhealthy Placer business climate. As many of you know, my term in office will end in December, but I will continue to be a servant of this exceptional community. Placer County is a great place to call home, not only because of its majestic views and vibrant economy, but because of the people who give it its spirit of kindness and cooperation. I am truly honored to have been a trusted servant for District 1, and look forward to future opportunities to serve. Thank you, Kim, my wife of 24 years and sons Jared and Jakob, for allowing me to take precious time away from you to serve our community. As always, I welcome your feedback and can be reached by email at jduran@placer. ca.gov or by phone at 916-787-8950.

FEATURED MEMBER To Be Or Not To Be ... An Owner or A Tenant Tenants often wonder if it would be better to own their building or to lease. The benefits of ownership are many including appreciation, depreciation (tax benefits), principal reduction, equity growth and the opportunity to control your own destiny. However, as a tenant your only commitment is the lease you have signed. The benefits of being a tenant include flexibility in expansion and contraction as your business requires, without the burden of debt and owner responsibilities.
Every business should consider these options and determine what suits their interests best. Contact Tiner Commercial Real Estate Services today for your free Own vs Lease Analysis.

EVENT HIGHLIGHT Making a SPLASH for Roseville’s Youth The Chamber’s annual SPLASH event raised $23,950.14 for the City of Roseville’s youth programs The Youth Passport program has income eligibility guidelines and provides three options to participate in city recreation activities including a Swim Passport where approved applicants receive a swimsuit, towel and free participation in two swim lesson sessions at Johnson Pool. “It’s an honor that we get to help children make a ‘SPLASH’ in a way that they might not otherwise be able to,” Gerig said. “I can’t wait to see what the residents and businesses of Roseville help us accomplish in 2019!”
PHOTO BY: MIKE MARTIN PHOTOGRAPHY
The Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce raised more than $23,000 for the City of Roseville’s Youth Passport program at the 23rd annual SPLASH event held September 8, 2018 at the Roseville Aquatic Complex. Since the first SPLASH event was held in 1996, the chamber has raised more than $400,000 for Roseville’s youth programs. “It’s amazing that year after year the community comes together for not only Roseville’s biggest party of the year, but also because they know they are giving back to our local youth,” said Kevin Hernandez, Events Coordinator for the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce. “Everyone has a blast, from our vendors to the attendees.” Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce CEO, Wendy Gerig, helped plan the very first SPLASH event and says she is continually impressed with the businesses of Roseville and the people.
w w w. R o s e v i l l e A r e a C h a m b e r. c o m
“The people of Roseville really make SPLASH happen,” Gerig said, “We wouldn’t be able to give back to the City of Roseville in this big of a way without their continued support.”
The Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce will present a check for $23,950.14 to the City of Roseville at the Nov. 7, 2018 City Council meeting at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 311 Vernon Street.
$23,950
SPLASH is planned by a committee of chamber members and the 2018 SPLASH event was co-chaired by Kate Rebello, Recreation Supervisor for the City of Roseville’s Parks and Recreation Department, and Anne Carpenter, Sales Executive at ATS Communications, Inc.
$17,045
$11,899
All of the funds given to the City of Roseville from the chamber go toward the Parks and Recreation Department’s Youth Passport program.
$7,186
“The City of Roseville wants every resident child to have an opportunity to participate in a supervised recreation program,” Rebello said. “In an effort to provide affordable programs, the Parks and Recreation Department created the Youth Passport program.”

UCAN RECAP UCAN Chambers Bat .640 at the close of 2018 Legislative Session .700 with Governor Brown Only one UCAN “oppose” bill signed into law The United Chamber Advocacy Network, also known as UCAN, had a busy and effective year during the 2018 state legislative session which came to an official close September 30, the final day when the Governor can take action on bills approved by the Legislature. Overall, the Legislature affirmed 64 percent of UCAN positions – 12 UCAN opposed bills failed in the legislature and 8 UCAN support bills advanced to the Governor’s desk. Nine UCAN support bills died in the Legislature and four bills opposed by the UCAN chambers were sent on to the Governor for his consideration. Of the eight UCAN support bills approved by the Legislature, four were signed by the Governor and two were included in the state budget, while two UCAN support bills were vetoed by Governor Brown, most notably AB 2596 by Assemblyman Ken Cooley of Rancho Cordova which called for the development of a statewide economic development strategy. Of the four UCAN oppose bills on the Governor’s desk, Governor Brown vetoed three and signed only one – SB 1300 by Senator Hannah Beth Jackson which expands the definition of “standing” in employment related lawsuits by allowing “bystanders” the ability to file sexual harassment complaints against employers, even if they were not the subjects of harassment themselves. The three UCAN oppose bills vetoed by the Governor were: AB 2732 by Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher, which sought to establish an “employee bill of rights” to address labor trafficking. Governor’s
Brown’s veto message was consistent with UCAN’s position – requiring every single employer in the state to comply with a law intended to address labor trafficking goes too far. AB 3080 also by Asm. Gonzalez-Fletcher, which sought to eliminate arbitration and settlement agreements in sex harassment cases. Governor Brown returned AB 3080 without his signature stating the bill “plainly violates federal law” and that he previously vetoed legislation that “unduly impeded arbitration.” SB 937 by Senator Anthony Weiner, which sought to accommodate nursing mothers in the workplace but provided less flexibility for employers than a similar measure, AB 1976 which was amended to provide employers with a hardship exemption, earning UCAN’s support. In his veto message, Governor Brown noted the bill was not necessary since he had signed AB 1976 (Limon) – precisely UCAN’s position. Summary of actions by Governor Brown on UCAN priority legislation: Signed – UCAN Support AB 1547 (Quirk-Silva) establishing a small business local program for ASA fixes AB 1976 (Limon) requiring lactation accommodation in the workplace – was amended to provide hardship exemption for businesses/employers AB 2687 (Quirk-Silva) establishing an office of small business within GO-BIZ AB 2420 (Quirk-Silva) adding “soft skills” to adult education training
Vetoed - UCAN Oppose AB 2732 (Gonzalez-Fletcher) establishing an employee bill of rights re: immigration practices AB 3080 (Gonzalez-Fletcher) eliminating arbitration and settlement agreements in sex harassment cases SB 937 (Wiener) requiring lactation accommodation in the workplace w/less flexibility than AB 1976 Vetoed/Returned – UCAN Support AB 767 (Quirk-Silva) establishing a master business license AB 2596 (Cooley) authorizing GO-BIZ to commission a statewide economic development strategy Signed – UCAN Oppose SB 1300 (Jackson) expands the definition of “standing” in employment related lawsuits UCAN Support positions included in the 2018-19 state budget: $23 million for small business assistance (Cooper) $500 million for career technical education (O’Connell) A final report, detailing the final outcome of all of UCAN’s 2018 Priority Legislation will be distributed later this year and will include vote counts on UCAN priority bills for the individual state legislators who represent UCAN chamber organizations – Assemblymembers Frank Bigelow, Ken Cooley, Jim Cooper, and Kevin Kiley and State Senators Ted Gaines, Jim Nielsen, and Richard Pan. To learn more, visit www. amgroup.us/UCAN
The United Chamber Advocacy Network is a coalition of local chamber of commerce organizations united to engage on state level policy on behalf of their members. UCAN chamber organizations include: the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce, the Folsom Chamber of Commerce, the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce, the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce and the El Dorado County Joint Chamber Commission (El Dorado County, El Dorado Hills and Shingle Springs chambers of commerce).
