North Bay Credit Union Names Bass to Legal Position
|
David Bass, previously with the California Department of Justice, is joining the staff of North Bay Credit Union as General Counsel and Compliance Officer.
“David’s specialized knowledge will be particularly beneficial as we navigate the increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment in which we operate,” says Chris Call, North Bay Credit Union CEO.
While with the California DOJ, he was the lead prosecutor for the State Tax Recovery and Crime Enforcement Task Force, working with federal and state governmental agencies such as the FBI, IRS and the California State Franchise Tax Board. He was also part of the state’s Financial Crimes and Special Prosecution Unit, prosecuting a wide range of cases to protect the public.
Bass most recently served as in-house counsel for a large international bank, and was Chief Risk Management Officer with West Coast ALM Services.
“David’s comprehensive understanding of California’s financial laws will ensure we are always in compliance with state regulations, as well as help us take advantage of any new opportunities to better serve our membership,” Call said.

Children of Vineyard Workers Scholarship Fund
|
This June, come and visit Sonoma County and attend the 17th Annual Children of the Vineyard Workers Foundation Gala. What started as an idea at a Wilson Winery barbecue, became the Children of the Vineyard Workers Foundation. Ken and Diane wanted to create a foundation that helped their vineyard workers with the financial hardships of pursuing secondary education. Seventeen years later, they have partnered with the Sonoma County Farm Bureau and raised more than $450,000 designated to scholarships to pursue higher education. Soda Rock Winery will hold the annual Gala on June 9th this year. It will consist of three courses, paired with award winning wines from all of the Wilson Artisan brands. Following dinner, guests can participate in a live auction hosted by California Senator Mike McGuire. Don't miss this fabulous event and a chance to give back to our community. Click

Tourism Continues to Grow our Economy
|
A newly released report from
Visit California
shows that the overall tourism economy in Sonoma County grew by 2.3 percent in 2017. Total direct travel spending in Sonoma County was $2.09 billion for 2017, according to the annual Dean Runyan Associates economic study performed for
Visit California
.
The total number of jobs in the tourism economy also grew by 4.66 percent, with 22,690 jobs now in the tourism sector locally. That equates to more than one in 10 private employer jobs in Sonoma County.
“Tourism is an important economic driver for Sonoma County,” said Claudia Vecchio, president/CEO of Sonoma County Tourism. “As a destination, we continue to show a return on our investment in tourism marketing, which translates to local jobs and government revenue.”
Hospitality jobs are varied in Sonoma County, with tour guides, restauranteurs, and brewery tasting room staff just as likely to interact with a visitor as a hotel front desk clerk. And this doesn't include the supporting businesses needed for the industry like commercial laundries, farmers, and all types of business services.
According to the report from Dean Runyan and Associates, "The California travel industry contributes more tax revenue to state and local governments than would be expected based on the size of the industry. Whereas the gross domestic product and employee earnings represent about two and one half percent of the state economy, the travel industry generated 4.0 percent of tax revenue in the 2017 fiscal year."

About Longboard Vineyards:
Longboard Vineyards was established in 1998 by Oded Shakked. A walking melting pot, Oded was born in Israel and has lived and worked (and surfed) on four continents. He fell in love with northern Sonoma County in the late 1980's and in his words: "I felt roots growing from the bottom of my feet."
With more than thirty years spent making wine - Oded is as stoked as ever every time a harvest approaches. To him, winemaking is a perfect combination of Art, Science and Agriculture; a craft that keeps you on your toes and never ceases to teach you something new - just like surfing does.
Oded loves to share things absorbed from his international exposure. "Talk Story" is an expression used in Hawaiian culture, it encompasses more than just chatting and sharing experiences - transcending into the realm of passing the wisdom of ages to future generations. At Longboard, Oded loves to engage in conversations with folk visiting our tasting room, sharing his winemaking knowledge and encouraging everyone to trust their own palates.
Warm, confident, independent, refined but down-to-earth; Oded's personality is reflected in every wine he makes.
