Out & About
with TACC President & CEO Donna Duperron
|
|
Donna visits Argos Engineers, Inc.

Ken Saunders (right) meets with an engineer.

|
As I entered Argos Engineers, Inc., I was quickly drawn to the neatness of the office and the large photographs on the walls. Within moments I was welcomed by Ken Saunders.
Ken and I sat down for a very enjoyable conversation in which he enthusiastically told me about Argos Engineers, a business that serves the chemical, energy, legal/insurance, manufacturing, and oil and gas industries; both private and government agencies. Services range from code and regulatory compliance to advanced analyses such as buckling, creep, fracture, and wear analysis.
Ken went on to explain that the objective at Argos Engineers, Inc. is to provide the best knowledge available appropriate for the current issue and solutions ranging from a quick assessment, allowing you to make an informed decision in a short timeframe, to detailed analyses that provide additional confidence and understanding.
The Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce thanks Argos Engineers, Inc. for being a valued member.

The new website will officially launch on Tuesday, January 19th. It has been designed completely in-house, just as the previous iteration of the website was. The goal with the new site has been to improve the website experience not only by giving it a cleaner, more beautiful design, but also by making information easier to find and consume. Many of the lengthy, burdensome descriptions have been banished so that visitors can get to the information they need without having to hunt for it.
The menu has been reorganized in a logical, structured manner, so pages that were once hidden within links inside other pages are now just one click away.
The
Store page landed today at torrancechamber.com.
2016 Employment Notices Posters can now be ordered online. More products will be introduced soon. Check back between now and January 19th to see which other pages have been added prior to launch.
Thank you for your patience as the TACC puts the finishing touches on its refurbished home on the web. Happy New Year!

How would you like two seats to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Banquet during the Superbowl 50 festivities in San Francisco this year? You will enjoy a VIP cocktail reception and be seated with a Hall of Famer or NFL Legend, enjoy lunch, and hear stories from over 50 Hall of Fame "Gold Jackets."
The lunch is Friday, February 5 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience ... you can't buy these tickets anywhere!
All proceeds go to the Western Association of Chamber Executives Foundation, which provides scholarships and other educational resources for chamber of commerce professionals across the Western United States.
