By Mark Luster, Sierra Paci� c IndustriesEl Dorado County Chamber of Commerce President 2014
Our Chamber is positioned at the forefront of issues facing the county. In our resolve to tackle issues head on we are as strong of an advocate as ever for our members and for me it has been an absolute pleasure serving with our dynamic leader-ship team. The Chamber’s success did not happen overnight and it didn’t happen by accident. The chamber has a clear mis-sion which is to “Advocate and Promote a Strong Healthy and Diverse Business Community to Preserve the Quality of Life in Eldorado County.”
I have had the privilege of serving as President of three chamber boards. There is always the conversation in the board room on which issues to engage or not engage and every year new and often unexpected chal-lenges arise and we have to be up to the task. This year was no different especially being an
election year with initiatives on the ballot that had far reaching ramifications. Your chamber has always represented the best interest of our members. We studied, analyzed and brought a number of perspectives to the table and then we did what chambers are supposed to do “We followed our mission state-ment and represented you the members.”
For the most part, we can all agree on the need for economic development. On other issues like the M-N-O initiatives, we have seen some pretty strong disagreements, but the elec-tions are over and the people have spoken. I believe today that we can and must work together going forward for the betterment of our county and communities. Whatever political differences we may have had, I know that all of us share a deep abiding belief in this county, a belief in our people, and a belief in the principles that have made El Dorado County a special place to live, work and do business.
As outgoing president I would
like to thank the chamber staff, volunteers and the board of directors for their commitment and support. None of this works without all these pieces in place. Professionally, I would like to recognize the owners of Sierra Pacific Industries, my employer for allowing me to serve in this capacity. Sierra Pacific is a Family owned business, which believes in community service and giving back just as I do. It is the peo-ple in communities giving back to their community that truly makes a community something special and I believe we have that here.
And lastly, I can’t end my term without a special recognition to someone who is a role model to all of us on multiple levels. This year being an election year with a number of far reaching issues facing the business community it took a tremendous amount of energy and time to navigate through the process. With our CEO, Laurel Brent-Bumb’s lead-ership and tenacity the chamber had a successful year on multiple fronts.
Farewell Address
Placerville Pizza Factory
New Owners Terri and David Thomas cut the ribbon celebrating the grand re-opening of the Pizza Factory located at 1242 Broadway in Placerville. Using only the freshest ingredients, they are proud to serve delicious calzones, pasta, specialty salads, hot and cold sandwiches and of course pizza. “We toss ‘em, They’re awesome!”
The El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce has recently become a partner in the Capital Region Business Resiliency Initiative (BRI). This bold new initiative managed by regional impact nonprofit Valley Vision and its partner, will pro-vide information and resources to help small busi-nesses better prepare for disaster and plan for business continuity in California’s Capital region. Thanks to the BRI, we’ll be providing informa-tion about threats that businesses like yours face in light of natural disaster, what can be done to help reduce business risks, and how to maintain critical business functions when disaster does strike.
Because we all have become a BRI partner, member businesses can expect to receive regular communications and information tailored to small businesses on the topics of disaster preparedness and business continuity planning. Look for infor-mation on upcoming workshops, panel discussions and other opportunities to learn more about busi-ness continuity planning and how to help disas-ter-proof your business. For more information, join the BRI’s Facebook Group page, “Disaster Proof Your Business,” (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1394466137513136/) and also check out the information on the BRI project website at http://valleyvision.org/projects/business-resilien-cy-in-the-capital-region.

Spotlight on a Gold MemberPowerhouse Gym’s current owner Steve LeClair
purchased the gym on March 16, 2014. The gym has been at this location for over 20 years and never seen a transformation like what has occurred over the last 9 months.
We offer a wide range of fitness services. Everything you need for a total body workout and more. A cardio room with new state of the art treadmills, plenty of weights in the weight room including kettle bells, a newly designed functional training area with suspension straps, and a large group exercise room that has been completely remodeled. Feel free to workout on your own, take a class, or use one of our highly qualified trainers to get you on the right track. We also offer babysitting and have locker room facilities with showers. Whatever your fitness
goals are we have the facility for you.In addition, we have the best Yoga Instructors
in the county and offer several yoga classes week-ly. So we really do offer everything you would want to improve mind, body, and soul! That is what makes us unique. We have a very broad spectrum of customers with very different fitness goals and our facility is equipped to service all of their needs.
Fitness has always been a part of my life and helping people improve their lives through fitness is very rewarding. We provide the facility and a friendly staff ready to assist everyone with their needs, but that means nothing if you aren’t ready to take charge of your own life. The people who choose to change their lives through fitness and put in the work are the ones who make this most
rewarding for me.We endeavor to support community events
when possible and recently sponsored the Union Mine Football team. I am a big supporter of youth sports and very involved in that area with the 5 boys that my wife Kristin and I are raising in El Dorado Hills. They range in age from 8-18 and all are involved with sports all the time. We have a very busy household!
Come by Powerhouse Gym for a free workout and see for yourself. The entire facility including locker rooms has been completely remodeled. I guaranteed you will be pleased with the results and want to come back for more!

Congratulations to Kate Dyer, C.E.O. of StemExpress who was recently recognized by the Sacramento Business Journal in their annual “40 Under 40” publication.
Kate was profiled alongside a diverse group of attorneys, academics, homebuild-ers, engineers, philanthropists, financiers, veter-ans and media specialists.
Dyer founded her biotechnology company in Placerville with only $9,000. Four years later StemExpress, which provides human blood, bone marrow and tissue for medical research, ranks No. 363 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing private companies, with 1,315 percent growth over a three-year period.”
StemExpress acknowledged for leadership

Fitness has always been a part of my life and helping people improve their lives through fitness is very rewarding. We provide the facility and a friendly staff ready to assist everyone with their needs, but that means nothing if you aren’t ready to take charge of your own life. The people who choose to change their lives through fitness and put in the work are the ones who make this most
rewarding for me.We endeavor to support community events
when possible and recently sponsored the Union Mine Football team. I am a big supporter of youth sports and very involved in that area with the 5 boys that my wife Kristin and I are raising in El Dorado Hills. They range in age from 8-18 and all are involved with sports all the time. We have a very busy household!
Come by Powerhouse Gym for a free workout and see for yourself. The entire facility including locker rooms has been completely remodeled. I guaranteed you will be pleased with the results and want to come back for more!
