a collaborative effort between one of the region’s largest manufacturers, medical device manufacturer Labcon, Sonoma County BEST, the City of Petaluma, and PG&E.

“The services Synergy Health will offer will be a key to expanding medical device manufacturing in Sonoma County and all of the North Bay,” said Jim Happ, President of Labcon. “For years, our vision has been to bring companies together at one site that are complementary in terms of the values they exhibit, the products they produce or services they provide to the manufacturing community. Having Synergy Health commit to Petaluma is exactly what we envisioned for the site.”

The new Petaluma location provides solutions to industries in the medical devices and pharmaceuticals, specialized applications and contamination control sectors. Previously, these services were not available locally. Synergy Health brings resources and capabilities many advanced manufacturers in the region will utilize. This type of company acts as a catalyst in an already growing life science and medical device sectors in Sonoma County.

These targeted, collaborative, and metrics-driven actions are a result of BEST’s proven methodology for job growth. By working with businesses to identify their challenges and opportunities, and then acting to help them resolve those issues, BEST enables business success, fosters job growth, and promotes economic vitality in our region. 6 | SANTA ROSA CHAMBER | march 23, 2015 Making a difference in public policy As the voice of business in Santa Rosa, owners that revealed their strong desire to the Chamber plays an important role have a reunified Courthouse Square, the representing its members. “We speak Advocacy Council put together an action on behalf of those businesses that don’t plan.

The Chamber celebrated with 49 new and growing area businesses by coordinating ribbon cutting ceremonies for grand openings, expansions, new locations, and significant anniversaries. “It’s great to call attention to the success of our members, gathering together Chamber ambassadors and members to celebrate, and publicizing these accomplishments in our newsletter and on social media,” said Steve Lyman, Membership Sales Manager at the Chamber. “Hundreds of people view the pictures we post on Facebook from each of these celebrations, which is great for getting the word out about a new or expanding business.”

Yet membership in the Chamber even benefits those businesses who don’t actively participate in events. Member businesses are promoted to the thousands of monthly website visitors and through the thousands of printed copies of the Community Resource and Business Guide. From workshops to large- scale programs, the Santa Rosa Chamber organizes and runs programs that foster individual development, positively impact business, and strengthen our community.

The Chamber also acts as an informational resource for members. “We have great connections in our community to programs and organizations that can provide guidance,” said the Chamber’s Vice President of Development, Tammi Matthias. “I’m often able to put a manager of one of our member businesses in touch with another to assist in solving immediate problems. It’s great to be able to provide that sort of mutually beneficial support.”
