On Thursday, our CEO, Ananda Rochita joined Sierra College’s Amy Schulz, PhD, MBA and Chamber Board Chair Ann Bouchard for the Advanced Manufacturing Career Forum with the Sacramento Valley Manufacturing Alliance. Touring Sierra College’s state-of-the-art welding and mechatronics programs was inspiring—did you know mechatronics graduates can start their careers earning six figures? 💡

Meanwhile, our Public Policy Coordinator Joey Tran began the CalChamber Business Advocacy Academy, a six-month program strengthening chamber-led advocacy across California.

At the Roseville Venture Lab, we welcomed founders at Startup Happy Hour, kicked off Roseville Rising: Food, and hosted nonprofit leaders for “AI for Community.”

🎟️ Looking ahead: Sponsorships and tickets for Placer Valley 2025 are live! New this year—upgrade to the VIP Reception for exclusive networking with speakers and community leaders.

We also celebrated ribbon cuttings, welcomed new members, and wrapped up the week with a fantastic Women’s Forum: Fired Up. 💙
