BACPAC Endorses Maher, Yee and Wang for School Board
|
The Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce's Business and Community Political Action Committee (BACPAC) is pleased to announce its endorsements for the Pleasanton Unified School District Board of Trustees in the November 2020 election.
Upon careful review of the five candidates running for three open seats, we believe Steve Maher, Jamie Yee and Chong Wang are the best candidates to lead the school district through the many challenges that lay ahead.
Steve Maher and Jamie Yee bring years of experience and already have a strong and positive relationship with Superintendent David Haglund. This experience and relationship will be critical for success as the school board considers difficult decisions with bringing students back to the classroom and budget constraints.
The remaining three candidates were all well versed in the challenges facing the school district. We believe Chong Wang rose to the top primarily due to his experience serving on the Superintendent's Budget Advisory Council and Citizen Bond Oversight Committee. His many years of work in the technology industry will also bring valuable insight to the district as they consider new technologies to connect with students, teachers and the community.

Planning to get your flu shot
|
As a leader in health care, Kaiser Permanente has implemented strict safety precautions in our hospitals and medical offices to protect patients and employees. This year, Kaiser Permanente members have a new COVID-19-safe way to get their flu shots: Drive through flu shot clinics. The goal of the Drive Through clinics is to observe social distancing while minimizing the need to enter our facilities.
Getting a flu shot is more important than ever as we enter flu season with COVID-19 still spreading in the population. We know that many of the Pleasanton Chamber of
Commerce's members are Kaiser Permanente members and we are asking you to help us share our 2020 Drive Through Flu Program to ensure that they know how to protect themselves this flu season. The Drive-Through Flu Shot Program is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at three locations: o Antioch Medical Center o Martinez Medical Offices o Dublin Medical Offices & Cancer Center

BACPAC Endorses Candidates for Mayor and City Council
|
The Pleasanton Chamber's Business and Community Political Action Committee (BACPAC) is pleased to announce its endorsements for Pleasanton Mayor and City Council in this November's election.
Mayoral candidate Jerry Pentin and City Council candidates Jack Balch and Randy Brown bring a combination of excellent experiences, are most closely aligned with Chamber goals articulated in Pleasanton 2025: A Community Vision, and in our view are best qualified to help Pleasanton remain the Bay Area's best place to live, work and raise a family. All three have earned our endorsement.
