A WELCOME MESSAGE FROM CHAMBER PRESIDENT AND CEO
Welcome to 2025.
Our Chairwoman Janet Uthman declared 2025 as the Year of Small Business, with the Chamber focused even more on helping entrepreneurs and small employers succeed. There is much in store for the Vegas Chamber and our members this year. The Chamber team is excited to bring you another great year of helping you plug into information, resources, and relationship-building to help your business grow and thrive.
We kicked off the year with Preview Las Vegas, a spectacular event on January 16, 2025, at the newly renovated Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall. This year, we called it “PreviewMania,” a tip of our hat to the excitement that World Wrestling Entertainment’s “WrestleMania” is bringing to Las Vegas in April. In fact, our speaker lineup included a conversation with Nick Khan, President of WWE, and Steve Hill, President and CEO of the LVCVA talking about how “WrestleMania” and Las Vegas are a perfect match to elevate the Vegas brand even more and drive new visitors to our city.
We also shared the latest economic outlook for our region from Jeremy Aguero, Applied Analysis principle, to help you strategically guide your business this year. You can check out a summary of Preview and the photo gallery of the event in this month’s issue.
The Nevada Legislature convenes next month, and the Vegas Chamber will be there full time to advocate on your behalf. There are several ways for you to engage with the Chamber to help amplify the Voice of Business during the session. This issue highlights several options for you to get involved.
And coming soon, the Vegas Chamber will launch its Small Business Resource Center. Geared specifically to the needs of small businesses, this new division of the Chamber will provide learning opportunities to help you operate your business, workshops with experts to help you stay ahead of business trends and challenges, and personalized assistance when you need it.
Thank you for your membership in the Vegas Chamber. We wish you a prosperous and productive 2025.
Sincerely,
At Nevada State Bank, our business clients have direct access to our decision makers. Whether you’re looking for financing* to grow your business or insight on streamlining your accounts, we’ll work with you to help you make informed financial decisions about your business.

VEGAS CHAMBER
& ANNOUNCES
STATE OF THE CHAMBER AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES INSTALLATION LUNCHEON
The Vegas Chamber’s annual State of the Chamber and Board of Trustees Installation Luncheon celebrated a year of extraordinary accomplishments while laying out a robust vision for 2025. Held at Wynn Las Vegas, this premier event convened over 900 attendees, including dignitaries, business leaders, and members from various chambers, to recognize achievements and outline strategic initiatives for the coming year.
Vegas Chamber President and CEO Mary Beth Sewald reflected on 2024 as one of the Chamber’s most successful years. Under the leadership of Chairwoman Betsy Fretwell, the organization achieved milestones that underscored its role as a cornerstone of Nevada’s business ecosystem. Key accomplishments included the following:
• Hosting the largest-ever Washington, D.C. Fly-in, with over 300 business and community leaders advocating for Nevada on Capitol Hill.
• Launching the EDGE Program, which supported
over 100 women and minority-owned businesses.
• Introducing the JobX workforce development platform, funded by a grant from Clark County, to connect students and under-skilled workers with career pathways.
• Achieving a 97.4% success rate in state legislative endorsements during the 2024 election cycle, solidifying the Chamber’s reputation as a political force.
Fretwell emphasized the collective effort behind these successes: “The Chamber didn’t just endorse candidates; we actively participated in grassroots campaigns, helping to move the needle in tight races.”
Collaboration remained central to the Chamber’s mission in 2024. Partnerships with the Henderson, Latin, and Asian Chambers of Commerce strengthened the region’s business community.
Mary Beth Sewald acknowledged the importance

VISION FOR 2025
of these alliances: “Our shared efforts highlight the strength of our collaborations and partnerships.”
The Chamber also prioritized advocacy by engaging in the Nevada State Legislature and launching initiatives to support small businesses. For example, partnerships with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), UNLV, and Workforce Connections provided members with tools to thrive.
The luncheon featured the annual Chamber Awards, recognizing individuals and organizations that played pivotal roles in the Chamber’s success. Awardees included:
Larry Singer: Inducted as an Emeritus Trustee for his longstanding contributions.
Paul Anderson and Boyd Gaming: Honored as Member of the Year for their unwavering collaboration.
Southwest Airlines: Named Partner of the Year, with Regional Community Outreach Manager
Lillian Santos Stables.Chris Wilcox of Eide Bailly: Recognized for exemplary service as a trustee.
Mayor Carolyn Goodman: Presented with the Southern Nevada Business Champion Award for her transformative leadership in economic development.
Outgoing Chairwoman Betsy Fretwell highlighted the Chamber’s growth and influence during her tenure, including welcoming 600 new members, hosting the most successful Preview Las Vegas at the Fontainebleau, and securing a future home at the Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza. In her address, she praised the Chamber’s ability to unite Nevada’s business community, stating, “The Chamber helps small businesses achieve collectively what they cannot afford to do on their own.” Fretwell passed the torch to incoming Chairwoman Janet Uthman of Cox Communications. In her inaugural remarks, Uthman declared 2025 the “Year of Small Business,” pledging to elevate resources and advocacy for entrepreneurs. She also emphasized
the Chamber’s role in supporting members through legislative advocacy and workforce development.
Looking ahead, the Vegas Chamber aims to build on its achievements with initiatives designed to support small businesses and drive economic growth:
Legislative Advocacy: With the Nevada Legislature’s session in 2025, the Chamber will advocate for policies that protect employers, jobs, and the local economy. Chairwoman Uthman stressed the importance of this work, noting that most small businesses lack the resources to engage in policy making independently.
Affordable Benefits for Small Businesses: The
Chamber will continue providing access to affordable health insurance and launch initiatives to comply with Nevada’s new employer-sponsored retirement plan mandate.
Capital Campaign: The Chamber announced a campaign to co-brand its new headquarters at Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza, inviting members to invest in a space designed to foster collaboration and economic development.
Workforce Development: Building on the success of JobX and the EDGE Program, the Chamber will expand efforts to connect workers with career opportunities and support small businesses in navigating economic challenges.
The event concluded with an oath of office for the
2025 Board of Trustees, administered by Mayor Shelley Berkley. Her participation marked a commitment to fostering growth and prosperity in Las Vegas. Berkley expressed enthusiasm for the Chamber’s vision: “The Vegas Chamber is eager to collaborate on initiatives that will strengthen our economy and community.”
Chairwoman Uthman summarized the spirit of the event: “The Vegas Chamber is more than an organization; it is a catalyst for regional growth and a champion for small businesses.”
The State of the Chamber and Board of Trustees Installation Luncheon served as a testament to the Vegas Chamber’s unwavering commitment to its members and the broader
Nevada community. By celebrating 2024’s accomplishments and outlining bold initiatives for 2025, the Chamber reaffirmed its role as a leader in advocacy, collaboration, and innovation. As it embarks on the “Year of Small Business,” the Vegas Chamber remains steadfast in its mission to cultivate growth and prosperity throughout the region.

PLATINUM SPONSORS: PRESENTING SPONSOR:
START WITH THE END IN MIND
By: Ricky Navar, President of Peak Performance Partners
As we begin another new year, business owners are looking to the future and may be considering what it would take to leave their business on a high note. Whether the goal is to eventually sell the business, develop a succession plan, or brainstorm an alternate transition, the key to a successful exit can be much easier if you start with the end in mind. By developing an exit strategy early in your business’s lifecycle, you can maximize its value, ensure a smooth transition and achieve both personal and financial goals.
Why Early Exit Planning Matters
Planning your exit early provides clarity and helps you make more strategic decisions upfront that will pay returns in the future. Waiting until the last minute often leads to rushed decisions, missed opportunities, and unnecessary stress.
As an example, if a company begins planning their exit five years before they intend to sell and focuses on building a strong leadership team, optimizing financials, and implementing systems that allow the business to run independently, they
will be able to sell at a significantly higher price than if they had waited until the final hour.
Structuring Your Business for Success
Ideally, involving advisors early around three to five years before your planned transition can help you identify areas for improvement, structure the business for maximum value, and navigate the complex legal and financial landscape of an exit.
To prepare your business for a successful exit, it’s important to optimize several key areas:
• Financial health: Ensure your financial records are clean, up-to-date, and transparent, as buyers value stability and potential.
• Scalability and operations: Implement efficient and scalable processes, because buyers look for businesses that can grow without major overhauls.
• Leadership team: Put time and effort in developing your team, training leaders, and delegating responsibilities to create a business that thrives without your daily involvement.
• Brand strength: Build a strong reputation within your market – a recognizable and respected brand adds considerable value.
• Research: Spend time researching and identifying potential buyers or successors who align with your values and goals.
For instance, often times businesses struggle with unstructured operations and rely heavily on an owner’s personal relationships with customers. By standardizing processes and training a capable management team, it makes a business more attractive to buyers and can help to secure a premium sale price.
Aligning Your Exit with Personal Goals
Your exit strategy should align with your personal and financial goals, including retirement plans, lifestyle preferences, and future investments. If you’re an owner, consult with financial planners and advisors to ensure that your strategy supports the life you envision after selling your business.
In 2025 and beyond, there’s a growing focus on sustainability, social responsibility, and
environmental factors. Buyers are increasingly looking at how a company is positioned in these areas, and owners who incorporate these elements into their exit planning will have a competitive edge. Additionally, many owners are looking for ways to pass on businesses to family members or key employees, so succession planning is becoming increasingly important.
The most critical advice to take is to start early and remain proactive. Even if your exit seems far off, laying the groundwork now will ensure you have the flexibility to make the best decisions when the time comes. Planning ahead not only maximizes your business’ value but also allows you to exit on your terms. Your hard work deserves to be rewarded with a successful exit, and by starting with the end in mind, you can develop a valuable asset that will provide financial security and personal fulfillment for years to come.

HENDERSON EQUALITY CENTER UNVEILS NEW SOLAR ROOFTOP SYSTEM
Thanks to a generous sponsorship from Sol-Up, the Henderson Equality Center is now equipped with a new state-of-the-art 13.65 kWh rooftop solar system, costing the center only $1 per month.

Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.” CCCU President and CEO Matt Kershaw agrees that creating a positive work culture with talented team members is a top priority for the credit union. “We’re honored to be named as one of the state’s Top Workplaces for three consecutive years,” he said. “I believe that providing employees with competitive benefits and salaries reinforces our mission to help people reach their financial goals and dreams.”

THE NEW STANDARD OF CARE AI & TECHNOLOGY IN DENTISTRY
By: Dee Dee Meevasin, DMD
Is your dentist stuck in the past? Along with every other aspect of modern business, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technology is no longer a futuristic concept in dental health care—it’s a necessary standard for delivering superior patient care today. From enhancing diagnostic precision to streamlining workflows, these innovations are transforming every aspect of dental practices and empower practitioners to create more efficient, patient-centered experiences. Progressive dental practices should be integrating these technologies without delay, and patients should anticipate reaping their benefits, as these innovations have already established themselves as the new standard of care.
Enhanced Diagnostics
AI-powered imaging and advanced diagnostic tools are revolutionizing the accuracy of dental diagnoses, allowing for earlier detection and more effective treatment of dental issues. Some of this technology that should be part of your standard dental care includes:
• Pearl AI: The only chairside FDA-cleared AI radiologic detection aid that automatically analyzes dental x-rays to help dentists identify common dental conditions including tooth decay, calculus, and root abscesses
• Primescan 2: The first cloud-native, wireless intraoral scanning solution that easily integrates into a practice’s existing setup and allows them to use one scanner for numerous treatments and transform any room into a scanning room
• 3D X-Rays: Provide a cutting-edge approach for diagnosing and managing sleep apnea, providing a clearer, more comprehensive view of the airway and surrounding structures
• Advanced Oral Cancer Screenings: Using fluorescent illumination can detect early signs of oral cancer, pre-cancerous lesions, and other abnormal tissues, significantly improving patient outcomes through early intervention
• Stop by today and ask about discounts for Vegas Chamber members!
THE VALUE OF THE CHAMBER
My name is John Pinnington and as the owner of AA Printing Service, I am grateful for the support and resources provided by the Vegas Chamber. The networking opportunities have allowed me to connect with other local businesses, fostering valuable partnerships that have contributed to our growth. The sense of community within the Chamber is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any business owner looking to thrive in our amazing city. Thank you, Vegas Chamber, for being an essential part of our journey!

NEW EMPLOYER RETIREMENT SAVING PLAN MANDATE FOR NEVADANS
This year, Nevada will become the latest state to mandate that most businesses provide a retirement plan for their employees.
SB 305, which was passed in the 2023 legislative session, will become effective July 1, 2025. It requires most employers to provide a retirement savings plan for their employees. This may include enrolling them in a state-sponsored plan or a chamber of commerce 401K plan :
• Employers with an existing retirement program are exempt.
• Employers with less than five employees are exempt.
• Employers in business for less than 36 months are exempt.
• Employees are automatically enrolled by default at 120 days of employment.
• Employees may elect to opt-out.
Details surrounding the employer penalties have not yet been outlined.
A 401K plan may be appropriate over the State Plan for many businesses, including but not limited to Tax Credits of up to $5,000, higher contribution limits, actively managed investment options, pretax contributions, loan options, and employer contributions.
The Vegas Chamber offers members a prenegotiated retirement plan that satisfies the SB 305 mandate. There is currently no start-up cost and only $100 per quarter to the employer and $4 per month per employee with a balance. There are other low fees to consider. For more information, visit vegaschamber.com/401K or call the Caldera Wealth team at (702) 616-2000.
The Chamber will be keeping members informed as more details regarding this mandate become available.
No more than 100 employees received compensation of $5,000 or more in the preceding year, and the employer didn’t offer a plan covering substantially the same employees during the previous three tax years.
Securities and advisory services are offered through LPL Financial, a Registered Investment Advisor, FINRA/SIPC.
This information was developed as a general educational guide, but it is not intended as authoritative guidance or tax or legal advice. Each plan has unique requirements, and you should consult your administrator, attorney, or tax advisor for guidance on your specific situation. The advisor does not assure that a plan sponsor will be in compliance with ERISA regulations by using the information provided.

By Buck Wargo, Review-Journal
JOBX is a website that offers a short career quiz to help users discover jobs that align with their interests and preferences. It helps simplify the job discovery process and connects the community with information about in-demand opportunities via a partnership with EmployNV.
“JobX gives students, job seekers, and those who want to pursue a sustainable career in Southern Nevada a central hub for discovering new opportunities and accessing valuable information across a variety of career fields,” said Mary Beth Sewald, president and CEO of the Vegas Chamber. “Many people struggle with knowing where to begin, and we want JobX to be the go-to tool that helps them navigate their career journey.”
Recent numbers show that Southern Nevada added 41,100 jobs in the past year, reflecting a 3.7% growth rate and driven largely by construction and government sectors. Despite this progress, the region’s unemployment rate remains significantly higher than the national average. Sewald said.
JobX will focus on the 20 most in-demand occupations in Clark County. Roles include software development, teaching assistants, paralegals, plumbers, nurse practitioners as well as others.
“Our job market has shifted significantly since the pandemic,” said Sewald. “JobX is designed to bridge the gap, helping users discover these opportunities and navigate toward careers they might not have known were available and will provide a good income and quality of life.”
The Vegas Chamber developed JobX through a grant from Clark County and it’s already proving to be a great resource for job seekers. The Chamber’s biggest purpose for launching the project is to fill the gap of workers needed for the jobs being created.
“We’re trying to help them go from job to career,” Sewald said. “We’re excited about it. It’s been a heavy lift and a lot of work to put it together. But it will all be worth it.”

DESPITE INFLATION CONCERNS, SMALL BUSINESSES REMAIN
OPTIMISTIC
HALF SAY THAT LICENSING, CERTIFICATIONS, AND PERMITS MAKE IT HARDER TO GROW
This quarter, the MetLife & U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index is 69.1, slightly down from last quarter’s Index Score of 71.2. However, according to the results of the survey (conducted between October 7 – 21), small business owners and decision makers are generally more positive about their business operations and the economy than they were at the end of 2023 (when the Index was 61.3).
Overall, the survey’s findings show that despite continued concerns around inflation, small businesses remain optimistic about future revenue, investment, and hiring. Consistent for the past two years, more than half (55%) of small businesses say inflation is their biggest challenge this quarter. Conversely, seven in ten small businesses (72%) say they expect next year’s revenue to increase, stable for the past two quarters and up significantly from Q4 2023 (65%). Meanwhile, 46% say they plan to increase investment, and 41% say they anticipate increasing staff in the next year. Both of these last measures increased significantly from the start of 2024, but are similar to those recorded last quarter.
Small businesses are also more positive about the national and local economy compared to Q4 2023. More small businesses now say the U.S. economy (32%) and their local economy (38%) are in good health compared to this time last year (25% and 30%, respectively).
When it comes to the issue of regulation, small businesses are slightly more likely than last quarter to report that there is an increase in the time or resources spent fulfilling compliance and regulatory requirements compared to six months ago. Small businesses also feel that complying with regulations is more expensive for them than it is for their larger competitors. About seven in ten (69%) small businesses say that small businesses spend more per employee to comply with regulations than larger competitors.

ENROLLMENT OPEN FOR LEADERSHIP ADVANCE INVEST IN YOUR LEADERSHIP TALENT
Every organization – large and small - needs great leaders at all levels to be successful – leaders who can inspire teams to succeed and reach goals, effectively communicate, instill company values, and strategically solve problems. Yet, most businesses neglect providing the training necessary to help the people they put in leadership roles hone the skills necessary to be effective and successful.
That’s why the Leadership Advance program is so powerful. The Leadership Advance program, offered through the Vegas Chamber’s Leadership Foundation, is tailored to professionals at all levels who want to enhance their leadership skills so they can transform themselves into more effective managers and leaders. It is an affordable way for organizations to provide high quality leadership training.
Through Leadership Advance, organizations develop a pipeline of in-house leadership talent that will drive growth in their operations. It is a cost-effective way to invest in professional growth of their leaders to help them gain the skills they need to succeed.
“Joining Leadership Advance has been one of the best experiences of my career. I highly recommend this program whether you are new to leadership or have been in a leadership role for some time,” said Nicole Shelton of Nevada State Bank.
During the 5-month DISC-based program, class members will earn 3.6 CEU credits while focusing on mastering skills that are most relevant to successful organizational leadership. Topics include:
• Communication
• Decision Making and Strategic Thinking
• Leadership vs Management
• Problem Solving, Responsibility and Accountability
• Engagement and Motivation
• Emotional Intelligence, Self-Awareness, and Self-Mastery
By the end of the program experience, class members will gain extensive experience and insights into their own leadership style, improve their leadership techniques, become a more effective communicator, and develop skills and strategies that will help them take on new leadership challenges in their organizations and in our community.
“Leadership is not a destination, it is a journey, and everybody can learn everyday how to be better, and how to support other people of their team. I think as leaders we all have a responsibility to build up those coming behind us, and what better way to do that than to continue to hone and sharpen the saw in terms of the soft skills,” stated Danielle Black of Cragin & Pike.
The spring programwill begin February 14, 2025 and conclude June 2025. Registration deadline: January 31, 2025.

JACQUELINE MATTHEW MANAGING PRINCIPAL
HRC (HOULDSWORTH, RUSSO & COMPANY)
Q What services does your organization provide?
Serving the nonprofit community for nearly 30 years, Houldsworth, Russo & Company, P.C. (HRC) is a boutique CPA firm that provides nonprofit audit and tax services, as well as Single Audits, to clients located in Southern and Northern Nevada, and throughout the western region.
Q. What was the best piece of advice you were given or have given on your career pathway?
“You’re going to be that old anyway…”, Dr. Thomas McCaslin
While an accounting student at UNLV, Dr. McCaslin shared these words of wisdom with me on a day I was discussing my hesitancy to enter a certain academic program. As a nontraditional student, I was concerned that I would be “too old” when I was done. These words have echoed in my head and heart every time I feel that familiar sense of hesitancy when faced with something new or challenging.
Q. Can you share an inspiring workplace story?
As a teenage mother (17), making what many would consider questionable decisions, I never expected to be leading and setting an example for others. My oldest son, James, was a turning
point in my life. I wanted to be and do better for him (and the other four children who eventually followed). Through pure grit and perseverance, I went from that 17-year-old West Virginia girl to graduating from the UNLV accounting program as the Undergraduate Accounting Student of the Year, to securing a position with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to transitioning to HRC, where I eventually was named Managing Principal, to being named a member of the AICPA Not-for-Profit Expert Panel. I am grateful every day for those who saw in me what I did not see, and for supporting me when I needed it most. I live each day striving to be that for others.
Q. Why do you like the EWC?
The EWC brings together dynamic, professional women from various walks of life. As professional (and busy!) women, it can be difficult to find others who we can relate to and who we can eventually call our “friends”. With EWC, there is lots of opportunity for both! .
Q. How can people reach you?
