|
|
Tuesday, November 7
12:00-1:00 pm
Chamber Office
217 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg
FREE. Seating is limited. Please
RSVP
Meaning making acknowledges our core need to contribute, belong, feel valued and play a part in creating a greater purpose. Lead CEO’s of companies like the Huffington Post, LinkedIn, and Medtronic, believe that purpose and empowerment are essential leadership skills for future business leaders. The future is now.
Join Dr. Lynda Reid as she immerses you in a hands-on introduction to Meaning making, the first element in her concept of MORE. The concept of MORE is an active and mindful exploration of your leadership and your business. Internalizing and actualizing the four core elements of MORE, Meaning, Owning, Relationships, and Emotions into your business practices allows you to continually adapt and expand your leadership and business potential.
Objectives:
- Participants will actively explore and expand their understanding and application of the four components of Meaning, belonging, passion, purpose and loss and how each component:
- Increases the engagement and effectiveness of your employees
- Expands and fosters a loyal client-base
- Stretches and enhances your leadership abilities
- Allows your business to rise and thrive
About Dr. Lynda Reid
Dr. Lynda Reid’s eclectic career has always been driven by her passion to guide people in enhancing their life’s evolution. This passion has led her to explore a great diversity of roles in a wide range of locations. Her teaching, coaching, and consulting career began in Canada and has moved her back and forth through the Caribbean, the United States, and China. Those journeys inspired her Doctoral dissertation on the importance and development of Multicultural Leadership.
Dr. Reid inspires, engages, and expands individual and team potential through the application of the latest research and developments in neuroscience, talent development, change management, and work-life harmony.
She currently operates her business between the United States and the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Her clients include budding entrepreneurs, seasoned business owners and senior management in a wide-range of professions. She feels extremely fortunate to have recently relocated her U.S. base to Sonoma County as the devastating impact of Hurricane Irma and Maria on the BVI prevents her from returning to her island clients and home at this time. She is currently donating her coaching to her clients and those on the frontlines of relief and recovery in the BVI. She is looking forward to expanding her client base here in Sonoma County.

SBA Opens Business Recovery Center in Santa Rosa to Help Businesses Impacted by the Wildfires
|
|
The U.S. Small Business Administration and the Napa/Sonoma Small Business Development Center opened a business recovery center in Santa Rosa to provide a wide range of services to businesses impacted by the wildfires that began Oct 8, 2017. The center will open as indicated below.
“Due to the severe property damage and economic losses the wildfires inflicted on businesses in California, we want to provide every available service to help get them back on their feet,” said Director Tanya N. Garfield of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West. “The center will provide a one-stop location for businesses to access a variety of specialized help. SBA customer service representatives and SBDC business advisors will be available to meet individually with each business owner,” she added. No appointment is necessary. All services are provided free of charge.
SONOMA COUNTY
Business Recovery Center
The Courtyard
141 Stony Circle, Suite 155
Santa Rosa, CA 95401
Mondays - Fridays, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
“SBA customer service representatives will meet with each business owner to explain how an SBA disaster loan can help finance their recovery. They will answer questions about SBA’s disaster loan program, explain the application process and help each business owner complete their electronic loan application,” Garfield said.
According to Napa/Sonoma SBDC Director Mary Cervantes, SBDC business advisors at the center will provide business assistance to clients on a wide variety of matters designed to help small business owners re-establish their operations, overcome the effects of the disaster and plan for their future. “Services include assessing business working capital needs, evaluating the business’s strength, cash flow projections, and most importantly, a review of options with the business owner to help them evaluate their alternatives and make decisions that are appropriate for their situation,” she said.
According to Garfield, businesses of any size and private, nonprofit organizations may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets. These loans cover losses that are not fully covered by insurance or other recoveries.
For small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, nonprofit organizations of any size, SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. EIDL assistance is available regardless of whether the business suffered any property damage.
Business owners may also apply online using SBA’s secure website at
https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela
or get help from SBA representatives at any Disaster Recovery Center in Texas. Disaster loan information is also available from SBA’s Customer Service Center by calling (800) 659-2955 or emailing
disastercustomerservice@sba.gov
. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (800) 877 8339. For more disaster assistance information, visit

. Completed applications should be mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

Hospital Workforce Receives Fire Relief Support
|
|
|
The Healthcare Foundation received a two to one matching gift that will raise $150,000 to provide financial support relief efforts for Healdsburg District Hospital workforce affected by the recent fires. The fund will be open to all levels of workforce - from physicians to hourly workers - to support their recovery efforts.
All healthcare organizations, including the local hospitals, already have a difficult time recruiting physicians and other medical staff members. The fires create an added stress to retaining talented workers who struggle financially afterwards. "Supporting and retaining the dedicated staff we already have in place for this hospital serving the northern region of our county, is an important part of sustaining our community," said Debbie Mason, CEO of the Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma County. "Many people in our community have contributed to the stability and success of our hospital for nearly 20 years, and this latest challenge is certainly one that can rally support," she added.
The funds will be raised and administered by the Healthcare Foundation. "We are fortunate to have donors who care so much for the people in our community, and appreciative for our partnership with the Healthcare Foundation that allows such quick and enthusiastic response to our needs," said Interim Hospital CEO Joe Harrington.
The Healthcare Foundation is seeking contributions of any amount to quickly raise the $50,000 required for the 2 to 1 match. To contribute, go to
www.healthcarefoundation.net
and type Hospital Fire Relief in the comment area. Checks can be mailed to PO Box 1025, Healdsburg, CA 95448. For more information email
dmason@healthcarefoundation.net
or call 707-473-0583.
