Meet SLO County’s New Top Exec
SLO County’s Chief Administrative Officer Jim Grant announced his retirement this past June, kick starting the Board of Supervisors into finding a replacement. Lucky for them Dan Buckshi was right down the hall. Buckshi has worked for the county since 2002, most recently serving as the assistant county administrative officer. Buckshi will be here to tell us what his top priorities are in the new job that he prepares to start this month.
About 325,000 lives are lost every year due to heart attacks. The odds of surviving an attack increase significantly if an automated external defibrillator device is nearby. In 2010 Lynne Callahan lost her beloved husband, SLO Fire Chief John Callahan, to a heart attack. If an AED had been available the situation may have been different. Lynne will be here to share how she is keeping John’s legacy alive with her new non-profit, the John W. Callahan Heart Safe Project, and what she is doing to make sure others have a fighting chance.
SLO Grown Success
Getting ahead in business often takes more than just good professional sense. Creativity and passion are huge contributors in helping your business get ahead of the curve. Aaron Steed, CEO and co-founder of Meathead Movers, started a moving company with his brother in 1997 with a lot of creativity and passion. To date they have been recognized by the White House as top 100 young entrepreneurs, made Inc. magazine’s prestigious 500 fastest growing companies list and even made a special appearance on the Chelsea Lately Show. Aaron will be here to share what he thinks sets Meathead Movers apart from other moving companies.
Town & Gown
Its fall in SLO, which means Cal Poly is back in session and the students are back in town. Cal Poly has had a history of exceptional student leadership and this year is no different. New Cal Poly ASI President Katie Morrow will tell us about her goals for this upcoming year and how the business community fits into them.
Since 2007, Pacific Wildlife Care has been rehabilitating and returning orphaned and injured wildlife to their natural habitat. They believe it takes an entire community working in partnership to preserve and ensure the humane treatment, rehabilitation and care of our vital wildlife. That is why PWC has a strong emphasis on education. Marilyn Fidler, PWC development director, will be here to share insights about the organization and some of their success stories from right here in our community.
Earlier this month several local business leaders headed to New York for the World Business Forum 2012. The forum is ranked as one of the world’s most influential venues for CEO's. The two-day event featured speakers like former GE Chairman Jack Welch, Xerox CEO Ursula Burns, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson and author of the bestseller, Good to Great, Jim Collins. Here to share some of their cutting-edge insights from the event is Michael Gunther from Collaboration Business Consulting.
GleeFull 2 SOUND OUT! will be here to give us a sneak peek at their upcoming show. This cavalcade of musical talent features the charismatic Rudolf Budginas, vocal jazz sensations Vocalogy, Cuesta College’s Chamber Singers and the vocal ensemble SinNombrE. Cuesta’s own Chamber singers will join us at GMSLO with a little harmony to get our day going.
