Celebrating another LEGOLAND milestone Chamber a long-time supporter of theme park

“

The LEGOLAND team has worked with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce since before LEGOLAND opened in 1999. ­ Peter Ronchetti, — general manager, LEGOLAND California Resort

A skit and a shower of colorful confetti helped LEGOLAND California Resort open its new 250-room hotel.

Last month, LEGOLAND California Resort celebrated the opening of the largest singleproject expansion in its history — a longawaited 250-room hotel at the entrance of the theme park. Though skies were gray, moods were bright and celebratory. A skit featuring an explorer, a knight and a pirate culminated in colorful confetti raining down on the crowd of spectators, who cheered enthusiastically.

In the audience, the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce was well represented. President and CEO Ted Owen and Board Chairman Carlton Lund were present to mark the occasion, celebrating another chapter in the history of LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, and cementing the long-standing relationship between the Chamber and the theme park, which was named the Chamber’s Large Business of the Decade at the Annual Business Awards.

“The LEGOLAND team has worked with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce since before LEGOLAND opened in 1999,” LEGOLAND General Manager Peter Ronchetti said after the grand opening ceremony. “We work closely with the Chamber up to this very day. We love working in Carlsbad. It’s a fantastic city for us to grow our business year after year. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

LEGOLAND California Resort is Carlsbad’s seventh largest employers, even without the new jobs added by the hotel.

Kassebaum can then publish the photos to the Internet and link them to Google’s street view feature, so that customers can actually "see inside" the business.

Jeff Kassebaum has been a photographer since 1983.

So far, Kassebaum has photographed about 25 locations in North County, including The Crossings at Carlsbad, O'Sullivan's Irish Pub, Broken Yolk Cafe and Lomas Santa Fe Country Club among others.

Carlsbad Mayor Pro Tem Mark Packard, Mayor Matt Hall, Chamber Chairman Carlton Lund, Councilwoman Lorraine Wood and Chamber CEO and President Ted Owen at the opening of the LEGOLAND hotel.

Kudos to LEGOLAND hotel and others Lots of kudos this month, so let’s get right to it.

First of all, KUDOS to that wonderful new LEGOLAND Hotel. I was at the grand opening ceremony and can report that this is a great addition to the LEGOLAND California Resort. No detail was spared, from the hundreds of minifigures that adorn the check-in lobby (you can see them magnified with the wheels of a bike that moves back and forth along the back of the lobby) to the elevator that blasts disco music and a strobe light for what has to be the funkiest elevator trip ever.

More than anything, this is a great addition to Carlsbad, with its added jobs, its boost to the economy and for making our beloved theme park a multi-day destination.

KUDOS to Tri-City Medical Center, which has been named one of “100 Great Hospitals in America” by the editors of Becker’s Hospital Review. Tri-City was recognizeed “as an innovator in medical treatments, research, technology and care delivery as well as an anchor of health in the country,” according to a press release.

“Tri-City Medical Center continually promotes the value of innovation in healthcare services,” the publication stated. “For instance, this past summer, a Tri-City orthopedic surgeon performed the first vitamin E total knee replacement in San Diego County. Tri-City is also adapting to new delivery models. The hospital’s Accountable Care Organization, North Coast Medical ACO, was the only one in San Diego chosen to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings ACO program in the summer of 2012.”

“We’re very proud to be providing our community with the most advanced healthcare procedures and wellness programs,” said Tri-City Medical Center CEO Larry Anderson.

“Considering how many hospitals there are across the country, to be

named to this list is quite special because it includes many of the most prestigious healthcare institutions in the world. Our physicians, nurses and staff work tirelessly, and I am so pleased that their efforts have been recognized with this distinction.”

KUDOS to SDG&E, which was recently honored with the a Supply Chain Leadership Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Center for Corporate Climate Leadership for its push for sustainability.

According to the center, “SDG&E has demonstrated supply chain leadership both externally and internally.

In 2010, SDG&E began including sustainability questions in most of the utility’s high-value Requests for Proposals, and in 2012, the company began to give those questions weight in contract award decision making. SDG&E has also collaborated with suppliers to use more responsible products, including the increased use of waste fly ash in concrete, environmentally friendly utility poles, and right-sized lengths of electrical cable. Internally, SDG&E has engaged employees through measures such as a the establishment of green goals for all supply management staff, implementing a minimum order requirement to reduce packaging and transportation, and Department Sustainability Awards, which recognize notable achievements in supply chain sustainability. SDG&E has developed a mature governance structure for supply chain sustainability, creating

a Supply Chain Manager position to oversee SDG&E’s Supplier Relationship Management and Supply Chain Sustainability programs, a Supply Management Sustainability Team, and a Sustainable Purchasing Policy.”

SDG&E has also created a GHG reduction goal, aiming for a 20 percent intensity reduction by 2016 from a 2010 baseline. To meet this goal, SDG&E will continue to invest in renewable energy and end its only remaining contract with a coal-fired power plant. SDG&E has shown commitment to low-carbon energy sources beyond state mandates, growing its contracts for renewable energy from 550 GWh in 2003 to 3,380 GWh in 2011. SDG&E has also continued to make progress on a goal to reduce fleet vehicle emissions 15 percent by 2012 compared to a 2007 baseline of 20,179 metric tons of CO2e.”

In a related note, and with the recent celebration of Earth Day, KUDOS to all of our Chamber members that go out of their way to embrace sustainability. There’s a lot of notable examples — and our sustainability committee does a great job of highlighting them at the Business is Green Expo and the Green Bus Tour — but I came along a great list of what the La Costa Resort and Spa is doing to reduce its carbon footprint: Recycle - In 2012 alone, La Costa Resort and Spa processed 680,000 pounds of recycled material - much of this success came from understanding what materials are recyclable and how to process them properly.

Grow & Eat Local - La Costa chefs have proudly served the freshest cuisine to guests, both by utilizing herbs grown right here on property, and visiting local farmers markets in the area.

Composting - In 2012, La Costa Resort prevented 180,000 pounds of food waste from going into the landfills.

My monthly search for reinforcement of my positive thinking always seems to come around to someone who described success decades or centuries ago but it is still true today. Here are some examples.

• Your greatness is measured by your kindness. Your education and intellect by your modesty, Your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices. Your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others. — Wm. J.H. Boetcker • The higher men climb the longer their working day. And any young man with a streak of idleness in him may better make up his mind at the beginning that mediocrity will be his lot.

Without immense, sustained effort he will not climb high.

And even though fortune or chance were to lift him high, he would not stay there. For to keep at the top is harder almost than to get there.

There are no office hours for leaders. — Cardinal James Gibbons (1834-1921) • Thought, not money, is the real business capital, and if you know absolutely that what you are doing is right, they you are bound to accomplish it. — Harvey Firestone (1868-1938.)

• Time is the one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain a friend; one may lose and regain money; opportunity once spurned may come again; but the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits. Most careers are made or marred in the hours after supper. C.R. Lawton It always strikes as funny how history plays a key role in our success. By reading and being reinforced by historic successful men and women we every day get reminded that people like the men listed above learned through experience and we only can benefit from their fortune by not reinventing the wheel but just being reminded that their experiences still work today.

remaining 90 percent are equally distributed between companies that have been here two to five years, six to 10 years, 11 to 20 years, and more than 20 years.

We also wanted to know why businesses choose Carlsbad as their home. We knew that climate and quality of life would be big reasons, but we were a little surprised by the responses.

Thirty-five percent of respondents said that proximity to customers, collaborators and vendors is their top reason for locating here, and a nearly equal amount, 34 percent, said their reason for locating here is that their company’s founders live here. Carlsbad’s quality of life placed third in this category, with one in every six respondents saying that was the reason for locating here.

Fourteen percent said the reason is that their firm was spun off from a larger one, or it was purchased by a larger company, and 6 percent cited proximity to a skilled workforce.

The survey also indicates that many local businesses have a positive outlook for the future, with 35 percent of those surveyed expecting to grow this year by adding

employees, and 58 percent expecting to maintain the same number.

Asked to identify the number one thing that the city could do to improve the local business climate, Carlsbad businesses named no single issue that resonated with at least 10 percent. In fact, the response “nothing needs improvement” scored 10 percent.

Some areas of concern for Carlsbad businesses are: • Simplifying the fee, regulation and permitting process.

• Improving the downtown Carlsbad Village.

• Offering more business programs.

It’s encouraging to know that our local business community and the City of Carlsbad are on the same page on these points, because the city has been working on streamlining the permitting process to make it easier and faster for applicants to get approvals. And the city has hired a consultant, Urban Place Consulting Group, to continue revitalization of the Village, which until recently was an official redevelopment district.

One thing we did learn from this survey is that businesses that received information from the city’s Economic Development Division were more satisfied with Carlsbad as a place to do business than those that didn’t.

We will continue our outreach efforts through periodicals like the Carlsbad Business Journal and our online newsletter along with improving the infrastructure and services at the city to help Carlsbad businesses succeed.

As any good manager knows, good service never quits.

Giggle your way to better health Can a laugh a day keep the doctor away?

Lisa Collier Cool, author of “Is Laughter the Best Medicine?,” writes that, “Giggling keeps your heart stronger, might lower your blood sugar levels and even enhances your friendships.”

Although laughter is not posited as a cure to cancer or other serious illnesses, you can smile your way to less stress. According to research conducted by Michael Miller, director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland, people without heart disease laugh more than those with heart disease.

Dr. Miller reports, “The ability to laugh may have important implications in the U.S. where heart disease remains the number one killer.”

In our ongoing effort to improve our customer service, the City of Carlsbad commissioned BW Research, a Carlsbad-based company, to conduct a business survey, and the results provide encouraging news for our local business community.

BW surveyed more than 200 businesses, and nearly nine out of 10 — 87 percent — said they regard the city as an excellent (39 percent) or good (48 percent) place to do business. Regarding confidence in the City of Carlsbad government, 75 percent of respondents said they were either very confident (25 percent) or somewhat confident (50 percent). And just over one-third (35 percent) think that the Carlsbad business climate is improving, whereas only 6 percent think it is worsening. (The survey has a margin of error of 6.25 percent.)

The economy is improving, with 34 percent of companies expecting to add employees over the next 12 months, and only 3 percent expecting to lose employees. This compares well with responses on employment changes over the past three years, when only 24 percent saw growth and 20 percent experienced a decline in employment.

Most companies expected to maintain their current space in Carlsbad (85 percent) while some (8 percent) expect to expand.

Carlsbad has a strong mix of business, and we also have a larger portion (20 percent) of businesses that are either medium or large (10 employees or more) compared with the state of California as a whole (18 percent). While just more than 8 percent of our businesses have been here two years or less, the

Yoga groups in San Diego County and around the world combine “intentional laughter” with yoga exercises. Participants believe it’s good for their heart, lungs, digestion, immune system and overall well-being.

If you’re still not convinced, how about this: Laughing burns calories – as much as 50 calories for one 10-15 minute session of good-natured guffawing.

Now that’s something to smile about!

CARLSBAD BUSINESS JOURNAL MAY 2013

Are you selling your business? If so, you don’t want your employees — or your competitors, for that matter — knowing about the sale before it happens. How do you preserve confidentiality?

The first time your employees or vendors should hear about the sale is in the meeting with them the day after the business has closed escrow.

There will need to be site visits so that prospective buyers can visit the business and “see, touch and feel” in order to determine if it is a good fit.

These should be organized outside normal hours, when employees are not around. Some companies require confidentiality agreements to be in place before any specific information is given to a prospective buyer.

“When is the best time to inform employees that you are selling your business?” The short answer is that you should wait until the transaction is completed, and there is a good reason for that.

Most business owners understand that much of the value of their company is embodied in their employees.

Employees make the company possible, and many owners develop a close relationship with some of their staff.

Those relationships sometimes lead business owners to want to disclose the potential sale of their business to one or more of their employees.

“They deserve to know” is a

common refrain. Before you take that step, however, there are other things that should be considered, as they can affect the value of your business.

There is an enormous risk in sharing this inside information with employees.

Once it is common knowledge that your company is for sale (and it will become common knowledge once employees know), your company loses value: vendors are less likely to sell to you or increase credit limits; customers are less likely to buy for fear of a lack of continuity of the relationship; and employees are less likely to stay.

Once the cat is out of the bag, if you are able to get it back in at all, the damage is already done, and it can take years to redevelop the relationships that made your company valuable in the first place.

Cal Chamber unveils ‘job killer’ list While the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce does not march in lockstep with the California Chamber of Commerce, the two organizations most often fight side-byside on the same job preservation battlefield.

That’s why when the state chamber produces a list of what it terms “Job Killers” among proposed state legislation, we are wise to pay attention. Being largely a small business community, we fear, as our “big brother” Chamber does, that the jobs we save may be our own!

Thus, it is wise for our members at all levels to spend a little time defending themselves. How? Most simply by making sure they know what can hurt them — and relaying that information in no uncertain terms to their elected representatives in the state legislature — specifically state Sen. Mark Wyland and Assemblyman Rockey Chavez. The good news here is that both gentlemen are strongly aligned with business interests and very supportive.

So while it is good to check in with Wyland and Chavez, it is even more important to let those individuals promoting job killing bills know what is on your mind. It is easy to check what’s up by going to www.calchamber.com to read the Job Killer list. You’ll find a link on the home page. Find proposed bills that might specifically have an adverse effect on your business or your employees. You won’t have to look far!

Then — and here is the important part — speak up. Our monthly Government Affairs Committee is blessed by the presence of staff representatives of each of our elected officials. They tell us that sounding off can make a difference. And it is easier to do than ever before, not even requiring a

“forever” postage stamp.

For example, while Sen. Wyland provides three addresses to access his office, he also gives you a direct email link. That kind of accessibility defines democracy.

However, for contentious bills — and to reach a wider legislative audience — consider going back to the California Chamber website and accessing its “Grassroots Action Center.” Here, you can click on a link to legislators sponsoring a bill that you don’t like (or like!) and be given the option of communicating with that person, along with a variety of other elected and state officials.

The site does it all for you, including, if you want, sending your letter to local newspapers.

Less distasteful than licking an envelope!

For those who need a little m o r e inspiration and motivation, here are descriptions of a random sampling of this year’s job killer bills:

•AB 5 (Ammiano; D-San Francisco) Increased Exposure to Frivolous Litigation. Frivolousness should be saved for the weekend!

•SB 626 (Beall; D–San Jose) Massive Workers’ Compensation Cost Increase. It would be enough to make you sick of working.

•AB 953 (Ammiano; D-San Francisco) Increases CEQA Litigation. This is for those of you who think environmental review doesn’t take long enough!

•SB 529 (Leno; D-San Francisco) Disposable Fast-Food Container Ban. Yeah. That’s working so well in Solana Beach.

Don’t think because not one of more than 30 job killer bills is sponsored by a Republican legislator that this is a partisan issue.

Small business owners come in all flavors, denominations and political persuasions. There’s more, so go ahead and log on.

You can read ‘em and weep or you can read ‘em and act.

In 2013, consumers: • Have more information at their fingertips than ever before and expect to find answers to their questions instantaneously.

• Expect more from brands and believe less of what they have to say about their products or services.

• Trust the opinions shared on the web by complete strangers more than a company brochure or representative.

• Feel more comfortable voicing opinions through Social media, enabling consumer voices to travel farther and faster than traditional communications mediums.

Companies miss opportunities every day to attract and convert the right customers because they overlook the facts about the way the modern consumer thinks and behaves.

Just because a target customer lands on your website, doesn’t mean he is ready to buy. Similarly, just because you are ‘industry experts, ‘ doesn’t mean he wants to fill out the ‘sign up for our newsletter’ form and risk being bombarded by spam.

If you want to close more deals and grow your customer base while minimizing acquisition costs, you have to consider the entire consumer purchase cycle. Once you understand the modern consumer’s mindset and behavior, match it with the appropriate message and action steps at the right time.

The Modern Customer Purchase Cycle The modern customer passes through 4 fundamental stages when making a purchasing decision:

1. Research It all starts with a question or a problem that may or may not involve your product.

Before a consumer even knows or thinks about your brand, she performs research on the Internet that typically begins with Google.

Search engines have become the default starting point for most consumers. According to a recent study by Nielsen about consumer purchase decisions, 59 percent of U.S. respondents are somewhat or much more likely to make a purchase a new product after learning about it through active internet research.

Recommended Actions: If you are claiming to be an expert in your field, prove it!

Create content to address all of the common questions and concerns a customer has pertaining to your product or service. This is the key to awareness or ‘getting found’ on the internet by consumers who aren’t yet familiar with your brand.

Provide a wealth of information on your website to demonstrate your expertise. When they find you, whether from Google, an ad, a trade show or event, they will quickly identify you as a trusted resource.

Bottom line: This is a key entry point for most companies. The majority of new visitors to a website are still in the research phase and not ready to make a purchase. However, if you do not find a way to capture their information and continue the conversation, you risk losing them forever. Offer them something of value to help them understand the problem and capture their email address in return. Once you have captured a name and email address, you can move them to the next stage.

2. Evaluate Buying Criteria At this point, the consumer knows he has a problem that your product or service might solve. He still needs more information in order to determine the buying criteria for the product or service that will solve his problem.

ADVERTISEMENT

Recommended Action: Now that you have his email address, move him closer to a decision by upping the ante of value you add, but don’t ask for the sale yet. By nurturing your lead and offering your expertise, you are gradually building his trust in you and your company.

Bottom Line: This is where most companies go wrong. Marketing sends sales a batch of leads that are either not qualified or not ready. The miscommunication causes sales to contact the prospect prematurely and ask for

the sales. The gap in readiness leads to missed opportunities and futile department blame games. Marketing needs to continue ‘working’ the qualified lead until he is sales-ready.

3. Product/Service Selection The consumer now understands his problem, knows what he needs, and is ready to make a purchase. Now, he just needs to carefully decide whose product or service to purchase.

Action: This is the time when marketing hands the lead off to sales. You are safe to offer a product demo, assessment, or call.

The prospect has spent some time getting to know you by now, even if all via online research and email. He is probably deciding between you and a competitor. At some predetermined point, he will become a salesready lead.

Bottom line: Most companies make this move too soon and ask the customer before he is ready. The closer Marketing can bring a qualified lead to the point of purchase, the more success Sales will have in closing the deal. This reduces closing times, lowers acquisition costs and increases overall revenues.

4. Post-Purchase Action Once the prospect has become a customer, what he does or says next depends on his experience once the deal is done. The loyalty factor is a tremendously important and often overlooked piece of business strategy. If a satisfied customer becomes loyal, she tells her network, is more likely to upgrade and/ or buy again, and thus has a higher Lifetime Customer Value.

Recommended Action: Just because your prospect is now a customer, doesn’t mean marketing’s job is done. Continue to add value and give him opportunities to spread the word about you. Put measures in place to track the Lifetime Customer Value.

Bottom line: It costs much more money to acquire a new customer than retain an existing customer.

Given this, an existing customer who is happy saves you money because he buys more of your services and brings in more customers for you by telling his network. A loyal customer can dramatically decrease acquisition costs, thus increasing your overall ROI.

Key Takeaways • Consumers trust what they read, they are hungry to learn and use the internet to find solutions to problems.

• There is a progressive sequence to consumer purchases. Don’t ask for the sale before the customer is ready and remember to help them along once they arrive on your website. Too many companies spend money on advertising, send them to the website and then leave them in the dust hoping they will remember them.

• An ecstatic customer is like gold. Make your customers love you. Continue the dialog, over deliver, and add value through ongoing service. Customers who love you not only stay customers, but they amplify the value of all of your marketing efforts.

The modern consumer is savvy, informed and skeptical of typical brand communications. Focus on building a trusting relationship by nurturing him throughout every stage of the purchase cycle.

Integrate this understanding with your inbound marketing plan and actions and you are sure to make a positive impact on your business.

When it comes to executive photos and photographs of business owners, Kassebaum says they are a crucial marketing tool. In fact, he cites a study that suggests that people are 38 percent more likely to do business with someone who has a photo on their business card than those who don't.

“It’s about marketing and making yourself stand out,” Kassebaum said. “People do business with people, and they feel more comfortable if they know you. A professional head shot is a must, because it allows you to present yourself as best as you can.”` Through his professional expertise, Kassebaum is able work with his clients to make the most flattering photos.

Kassebaum is so passionate about his art, that it’s surprising to hear that he became a professional photographer almost by accident.

He was the manager at a local grocery store when he decided to open Oceanside’s first one-hour photo developing shack.

Kassebaum is a Google Trusted Photographer, and can create virtual tours of North County businesses, giving them added visibility on the Internet. when their first son was born) his interest in the photo processing was purely from a business perspective at first.

One of Kassebaum’s signature styles — family portraits at the beach or at local parks — happened by necessity. Back in the days where studio portraits were the norm, Kassebaum said his small studio required him to photograph on location.

“Outdoor shots are perfect because of where we live here in Southern California,” Kassebaum said. “Nowadays, about 90 percent of the family portraits we take are at the beach or at the park, and only 10 percent are done in studio.”

Decades of experience have allowed Kassebaum to perfect the beach portrait.

He knows what times to take the best photo, how to pose families and individuals, and works to get the shots right incamera. In some circumstances, he used digital effect to touch up photos. When the situation calls for it, Kassebaum can also insert people into photos, or merge elements from different photos to get perfect shots When it comes to photographing high school seniors, Kassebaum’s studio at The Old World Center in the Village of Carlsbad (630-D Grand Ave.) serves as the perfect background for a variety of shots, with its rustic style, abundant greenery and brickcovered backgrounds. Once again, he takes

“I can shoot out there for an hour, and still not exhaust all of the backgrounds that this place offers,” said Kassebaum.

Kassebaum says he couldn’t have stumbled onto a better profession.

“I have the perfect job,” he said. “I don’t ever want to do anything else."

LEGOLAND ›Continued from Page 1 Ted Owen, President and CEO of the Chamber since 2004, said LEGOLAND is a crucial player in the city’s prosperity.

“I think LEGOLAND California kept Carlsbad from suffering as much as other cities during the recession,” Owen said. “A lot of people might have put off traveling to Europe, or others places in the United States, stayed in the area and spent their hard-earned money in Carlsbad because of LEGOLAND.” The addition of the hotel can only improve that, noted Ronchetti.

“This hotel gives LEGOLAND a whole resort layer,” he said. “It means people can stay overnight, enjoy the facility and then get into the park early the next day.”

Demand has been so strong that even before it officially opened, the hotel is booked solidly through at least a third of 2013.

These days, LEGOLAND California Resort is often synonymous with Carlsbad, mentioned in the same breath as the beauty of its beaches or its status as the “golf capital of the world.”

However, back when the Denmark-based LEGO company was still deciding where to place its first theme park in the United States, the Chamber was a crucial champion of the project.

In the early ‘90s, the Chamber formed a task force to promote the benefits to the community of having LEGOLAND here. They mentioned the economic benefits, the increase in tourism and the jobs it would create as reasons why the project should be supported. A delegation of Chamber representatives traveled to a LEGOLAND park in Denmark and reported their findings to the community, defending the project against its critics.

On Nov. 19, 1993 LEGO officials picked Carlsbad over the other finalist in Virginia and the Chamber celebrated the outcome with then-Gov. Pete Wilson and other state lawmakers during a press conference.

Then-president Elaine Lyttleton called the effort to woo LEGO a “first-class” team effort between the Chamber, the City of Carlsbad,

Each room at the LEGOLAND Hotel is adorned with LEGO-themed characters and decorations. the county of San Diego and the state of California that resulted in a successful economic development program.

“Throughout the months of LEGO’s selection process, through all the meetings, letter writing, press conferences and rallies ... we at the Chamber kept telling ourselves: It is better to try something great and fail, than to try nothing at all and succeed.”

After LEGO made its decision, the Chamber was a big supporter of the ballot measure in 1994 in which residents voted on the construction of the park. That measure was approved by 57 percent of the city’s voters. The Chamber supported LEGOLAND throughout the development process.

The park opened in 1999. Since then, it has opened the SEA LIFE aquarium and a water park and attendance has grown every year.

“LEGOLAND is great for Carlsbad and Carlsbad is great for LEGOLAND,” said Lund.

“It’s opening was truly a great day for the community.”

YOUR GUIDE TO WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE CARLSBAD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

People often ask me: What’s the best way that I can get involved in the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce? My response is always the same: Are you involved in any of our committees? There’s so much going on at the Chamber, but a lot of the day-to-day work is accomplished in our committees.

The best part is that the focus of each of our committees is so large, that everyone can find a committee that fits their interest. Here’s a list of our committees, when they meet and what they do.

So if you can, come check out a committee. We’re always looking for new faces. *(Must be a chamber member)

Celebrating 90 years of excellence NEW CENTER WILL bRING GAS, fOOD AND bUILDING SUPPLIES Palomar Commons opening this summer

P

alomar Commons, a shopping center currently taking shape at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real, is expected to open this summer, bringing Carlsbad’s first large home improvement store, a new gas station and a collection of restaurants that will not only expand the area’s dining choices, but also create jobs and add tax revenue to the city’s coffers.

Sudberry Properties is developing the 16-acre site at the southwest corner of the intersection, which used to be the home of the Olympic Resort Hotel and Spa, which closed in 2008. A 155,000 squarefoot Lowe’s Home Improvement will serve as the center’s anchor. The site will also include a California Bank and Trust branch, a 16-pump Acacia Gas

station and full car wash, and Chipotle’s Mexican Grill, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Jersey Mike’s Subs, and a Panera Bread. Deals are also being worked out with other tenants to fill three buildings.

The center will be able to accommodate up to a dozen tenants, said Mark Radelow, vice president of Sudberry Properties.

“I think this will be a great addition to the community, and we’re going to have a good combination of users,” Radelow said. “We’re going to have the right mix of food and retailers to add something to the community that isn’t there now.”

Ted Owen, President and CEO of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce agrees.

every employee is a leader — either at work, with family or with those they influence — as a mentor, or by helping others on their life journey.

Datron’s definition of servant leadership —“to inspire and equip those we influence”— is something all employees learn to implement in their professional and personal lives.

“My transformation into servant leadership began in 2004, when I was challenged to look at leading others from a different perspective, that of a servant,” Barter said.

“Our purpose as a company ... to positively impact the lives of others, requires us to challenge ourselves to be servants first and then leaders.”

2013 is a very special year for the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.

It’s the 90th anniversary of this organization.

Formed in 1923, the Chamber has a unique role in the development of this great city. Back when Carlsbad was only 1,500-resident town — before it even was an incorporated city or had a city council, for that matter — the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce was the voice of the community, advocating on behalf of its residents and businesses and the quality of life. The Chamber tackled such pressing issues as tree trimming, raising and painting street signs, and lobbying for a daily postal route. With no real local elected body, the Chamber provided guidance in leading with problems, and worked with county officials and residents to find solutions.

Today, the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce still has a powerful voice in shaping the quality of life in the community. “Speaking for Business, Listening to the Community,” is not only our motto, it’s guides our organization. We recognize the importance of a strong community, and to this day we support local education, transportation and other vital cornerstones

Jefferson students learn keys to success June 9, 2009 was an historic day in Carlsbad Unified School District.

On that day, Jefferson Elementary School became one of only 13 elementary schools in California to receive accreditation as an International Baccalaureate (IB) school.

The IB program addresses students’ academic and social needs through a global lens. Established in Switzerland in 1968, IB is intended to encourage students around the world to become active, compassionate learners through intellectual understanding and respect.

Academic subjects are taught around six universal themes embraced by the entire Jefferson faculty school: who we are, where we are in place and time, how we express ourselves, how the world works, how we organize ourselves and how we share the planet.

The themes are designed to stimulate thinking, questioning and exploration of issues that have global significance. In keeping with the global emphasis, students study foreign language from the beginning of the program to the end.

Currently, the school uses Rosetta Stone to teach Spanish, French, Mandarin and German.

All Jefferson teachers are trained in the IB curriculum and many are also bilingual.

SUZETTE LOVELY, Ed.D.

IB program promotes international excellence CARLSBAD SCHOOL NEWS

Superintendent CARLSBAD UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Student Leadership and Responsibility When you step onto the Jefferson campus, the core attitudes of Appreciation, Cooperation, Curiosity, Independence, Respect and Tolerance are everywhere. In 2011, Jefferson mom and artist Tamara Moody brought these attitudes to life by painting a 10-by-40-foot playground mural as a daily reminder. Students take great pride in the way they treat one another and their school.

Over the years, the Jefferson community has demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility, student leadership, and global awareness.

For example, Jefferson parent Jill McManigal founded Kids for Peace, which has grown to more than 100 school chapters spanning six continents. Kids for Peace also became the springboard for the highly successful Great Kindness Challenge in which students throughout Carlsbad Unified and beyond keep track of all the kind deeds they can perform in the same week.

Students present flowers to Administrative Assistant Mary Christian as part of the Great Kindness Challenge.

Pathway for Success Jefferson’s IB Program offers an internationally-recognized pathway to generate knowledgeable, openminded and caring learners.

The school’s Academic Performance Index (API) has risen steadily year after year — from a respectable 804 in

2007 to an impressive 852 in 2012.

Principal Chad Lund credits the dedicated teachers, committed parents and eager students for the program’s success.

“It takes an incredible team to develop every learner’s mind so that he or she is a contributor and problem-solver in tomorrow’s world,”

said Lund. “Our IB program and what it encompasses is successful because of the people who believe in it and lead it.”

At Jefferson Elementary, students aren’t just learning how to “be smart.” They’re learning how to “act smart” as they shape a better future for all of us.

UNIVERSITY NEWS

ACE honors Cal State's Haynes The American Council on Education (ACE) recently honored California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) President Karen Haynes with the 2013 Donna Shavlik Award. The award was presented at the ACE Women’s Leadership Dinner in Washington D.C. on March 2 to mark her exemplary contributions to women in higher education.

ACE established the Donna Shavlik Award to honor the long and outstanding service of Donna Shavlik, former director of ACE’s Office of Women in Higher Education (now known as the Inclusive Excellence Group).

Presented annually, the award honors an individual whose leadership demonstrates a sustained commitment to advancing women in higher education, through leadership and career development, campus climate and mentoring.

Haynes was recognized for transforming CSUSM into a model environment for women, promoting and hiring women to prominent leadership positions, including the vice president of Finance and Administrative Services and the vice president of Community Engagement.

“On women’s leadership, President Haynes talks the talk and walks the walk.

She is continuously involved in women’s groups on campus and has been a mentor to many others,” said ACE President Molly Corbett Broad. “This type of engagement enables other qualified women CSUSM President Karen Haynes with Donna Shavlik at the ACE Women’s Leadership Dinner in Washington D.C. (Photo Credit: Tim Trumble for ACE)

to advance into leadership roles, which is the true spirit of the Donna Shavlik Award.”

Haynes also served as the first woman dean at The University of Houston and has a longstanding history with ACE’s Women’s Network. She helped renew and reinvigorate the Texas State Network and did the same for the Southern California State Network, for which she has been the presidential sponsor for seven years. She has served on the ACE Commission on Women and currently serves on the ACE Commission on Inclusion.

Haynes has received several awards and honors, including the 2010 San Diego Business Journal’s Most Admired CEO Award.

She was honored in 2007 with the San Diego YWCA’s Top Women in Industry Award and the San Diego Business Journal’s Women Who Mean Business Award.

A trained social worker, Haynes has written several articles and books on social justice and leadership, including A Dream and a Plan: A Woman’s Path to Leadership in Human Services and Women Managers in Human Services, and the landmark text, Affecting Change: Social Workers in the Political Arena, now in its seventh edition.

She holds a bachelor’s degree from Goucher College (MD), a doctorate in social work from The University of Texas in Austin and an MSW from McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

CSUSM has new scholarship

A unique partnership has established a new two-year $10,000 scholarship residency program for nursing students at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM). The Emerson Residency Scholarship is awarded annually to two CSUSM nursing students interested in pursuing a nursing specialty in maternal child health.

Nursing students Jaleh Jaffari and Tara Naughton are the first to be awarded the prestigious scholarship.

As part of the scholarship, each student participates in a two-year externship program with Tri-City Medical Center's labor and delivery, and post-partum and neonatal intensive

care units, training alongside Tri-City’s registered nurses.

Naughton said that the scholarship “allows me to work harder than ever before to provide nothing but top quality care, and to always be learning and refining my skills.”

The scholarship was made possible by an agreement between Emerson Network Power in Carlsbad, the March of Dimes, California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) and Tri-City Medical Center.

Rising prices, fewer foreclosures mark recovery HOUSING TRENDS

TYSON LUND

A housing shortage continues in North County San Diego fueling rising home prices and sending home buyers scrambling to secure one of the few available homes. As of April, Carlsbad average single family home prices are up 9 percent compared to a year ago. Unprecedented government intervention into the real estate and mortgage markets has resulted in ultra-low financing rates and a reversal in the trend of falling real estate prices.

Only a year ago, economists were polarized on the direction of the real property market. In a May 2012 interview with Bloomberg TV, renowned economist A. Gary Shilling called for a 20 percent decline in housing prices in 2012 and forecasted that it would take several years before housing recovered.

But he and other housing bears underestimated the power of ultralow mortgage rates and investors appetite for real property. Shilling has since changed his estimates and cites the market “may” have bottomed (March 19, 2013 interview with Yahoo Finance), but expect housing to ‘limp along’. But again his forecasts are showing to be

irrelevant and contradictory to the most recent home sale data. Home sales in the North San Diego County real estate market are sprinting, not limping, towards new highs.

In less than 12 months, the average sale price for a 3 bedroom, 2,600-square-foot single family home in Carlsbad has risen to $768,000, up from $705,000 in 2012. The average market time has fallen from an average 52 days to less than 20 days. And the askingprice to sale-price ratio in Carlsbad moved from 97 percent of asking to 99 percent or more. The Wall Street Journal recently cited the S&P/CaseShiller index that marked an 8.1 percent increase in average home prices

within 20 major metropolitan areas for January. The fastest rise in home prices in the past 6 1/2 years.

Sycamore at the Foothills, DR Horton’s new construction community off of Cannon Road in Carlsbad articulates perfectly the pace of the local real estate market. On Friday, April 12, DR Horton released its newest phase of homes and raised pricing as much as $25,000 on each of their three floorplans. A week prior to release, as the interest list of prospective buyers grew, the Sycamore’s sales professionals for the

tract gave advice to buyer’s agents and their clients that the upcoming phase would sell in a first-come firstserved basis and that it was expected for buyers to camp overnight.

Such suggestions 12-18 months ago would have resulted in laughter from the agent community. Builders were courting agents and incentivizing their clients with generous closing costs, complementary top-tier upgrades and appliance packages.

Today, nearly every incentive has been eliminated. The buyer must now shoulder the cost of upgrades

and exterior landscaping.

The city of Carlsbad has less than one month supply of for sale property. Carlsbad’s 92010, where Sycamore is located, has only four available resale homes as of April 17, with 30 under contract or set to close.

The excess property and ‘shadow inventory’ bearish economists like Shilling warned of has not surfaced.

North County is seeing fewer, not more, short-sale and foreclosure homes. Once making up nearly 50 percent of the active real estate market, homes under duress have fallen in prominence to less than 10 percent. Rising home prices has helped underwater homeowners refinance, sell or give the needed confidence to wait out further recovery in housing prices. Short sales and foreclosures provided homebuyers with the opportunity to purchase property at a discount. Those deals are all but gone.

In summary: fewer homes for sale, higher average home prices, sub-4 percent mortgage rates, fewer short-sales and lower time-on-market to sell.

A large number of condominium and townhome complexes in Carlsbad have allowed their FHA and VA certification to expire. If you are a current owner of a condominium or townhome, you should inquire to management whether or not your complex is FHA and VA certified.

FHA loans are one of the most popular loan products for both first-time and condo home buyers. The popularity stems from the low down payment and flexible credit score requirement giving many the opportunity to purchase that would not be able to qualify by conventional loan standards. Especially those buyers coming out of a short-sale, bankruptcy or foreclosure that has a recovering credit score and has not yet saved up 20 percent for a down payment. Without proper certification, an FHA borrower will not be able to offer on a property in a non-approved complex. In today’s market of ample buyer supply, it may seem like a low-priority item for many associations and owners. But as prices rise and the investor buyers dwindle, condo owners will want access to the largest number of available homebuyers and that will be FHA and VA buyers. Condo owners should visit HUD.Gov for the steps to certification or pay a small fee to the number of for-profit companies that will prepare the paperwork on behalf of the community.

Life Technologies sold for $13.6B Thermo Fisher Scientific of Waltham, Mass. is acquiring Life Technologies Corp. for approximately $13.6 billion, plus the assumption of Life Tech’s net debt at the time of closing (or $2.2 billion as of the end of 2012).

The board of directors of both companies approved the transaction last month.

“We are extremely excited about this transaction because it creates the ultimate partner for our customers and significant value for our shareholders,” said Marc N. Casper, president and CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific in a statement. “The acquisition of Life Technologies enhances all three elements of our growth strategy: technological innovation, a unique customer value proposition and expansion in emerging markets.

Gregory T. Lucier, chairman and chief executive officer of Life Technologies, said in the statement “This transaction brings together two companies intent on accelerating innovation for our customers and achieving greater success in a highly competitive global industry. Further, this combination delivers immediate and significant cash value to our stockholders and represents a successful conclusion to the board’s strategic review to enhance stockholder value and develop an even

stronger future for Life Technologies.

We look forward to joining forces with the outstanding team at Thermo Fisher, which shares our commitment to customers, employees and the communities we serve.”

Life provides innovative products and services to customers conducting scientific research and genetic analysis, as well as those in applied markets, such as forensics and food safety testing.

With 2012 revenues of $3.8 billion, its comprehensive offering includes a broad range of reagents, consumables, instruments and systems. Life’s leading technologies are protected by approximately 5,000 patents and licenses, and it builds on this position through a strong commitment to innovation. Life has an expansive commercial presence and global footprint as well, with more than 10,000 employees serving its customers around the world.

It is expected that Life Technologies’ president and chief operating officer, Mark P. Stevenson, will have a significant leadership role in the combined company. In addition, Thermo Fisher intends to elect a member of the Life Technologies board of directors to the Thermo Fisher board.
