Think about getting involved in Chamber From Teresa Verraes, Executive Director It’s hard for me to comprehend where the last year has gone, let alone where the
nearly five years have gone since I stepped into the role as the Chamber’s Executive Director. All I can say is what a wonderful ride it has been! As you pour over this report, reading several accounts about how the Chamber has worked on your behalf this year, please
think about how you can participate in the future. Your Board of Directors meets throughout the year, and your Executive Committee meets monthly. You are welcome to join one of our task teams (committees). They are fun and keep all this good stuff going! Last but not least...
our staff is committed to representing you in the best possible manner. Call us, email us, or set up an appointment. We know how hard you work each day to contribute to the vibrancy of Jefferson County ~ Thank You!!!
“It is really fun being part of the Chamber and this fantastic community. I am feeling very supported by you, and as I become more deeply immersed into the fold of this blessed place, I become more and more comfortable in my own skin. I love being part of the business community!” Connie Segal, Glow Natural Skin Care

This Chamber makes a difference From Jordan Eades, PresidentElect 2016 As we approach our seventh anniversary as the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, it is important to take the time to reflect upon our many successes. I can wholeheartedly say that as a business owner, and member of the board, I have experienced first-hand the positive effects of a regional Chamber. This year will also mark for me, the fifth year as a member of the JCCC
board. Over the years, I have worked in several capacities; as director of our Young Professionals Network, and for the past two years, as incoming president. As I step into my new role as Chamber president, I feel incredibly fortunate to work with a passionate, highly skilled, board and staff. Your Chamber is a power-house of talented folks who are committed to the success of Jefferson County businesses. And, it is this dedication that has driven the Chamber to invest in a new home that will ensure the development of entrepreneurship, the
cultivation of leadership, and powerful professional growth opportunities to help make you more successful, in and out of your businesses and careers. That being said, we are not resting on our laurels. Now more than ever, as an organization, we are challenging ourselves; asking tough questions about how to best utilize our resources, how to continue to demonstrate and encourage great leadership, and how to best meet the needs of Jefferson County business owners. As we set our course for 2016, we will once again look to our members for

Geoducks
• Season outloo k • Game schedu
le
Seed is produced in hatcheries from native broodstock. The most common method of planting is to place 10" to 12" long hollow PVC tubes 3" to 6" in diameter into the beach substrate. The tubes are set in rows, with 3 to 4 geoduck seeds placed into each tube. The tubes are covered with net caps to protect them. After one or two years the tubes are removed, giving the geoducks time to dig deep enough to avoid predators. Geoducks are harvested in about 5 years, one clam at a time, at approximately 1 to 2 pounds. A water jet is placed alongside the geoduck siphon which temporarily softens the sand, allowing the harvester to gently lift the animal out. This method minimizes the stress to the geoduck and the amount of beach that is disturbed.

Harvested geoducks are placed in containers and tagged before being removed from the beach. Tags include the name of the harvesting company, the exact location and date of harvest. They are transported to a processing facility, cleaned, bagged or boxed and placed under temperature control prior to and during shipping to restaurants or seafood markets. Strict protocol governs the entire process of handling until it reaches the consumer, assuring temperature control, traceability and the finest geoducks in the world.

Geoducks feed off phytoplankton that occurs naturally in marine waters. Geoducks help to maintain the health of marine waters by virtue of their feeding, which involves filtering up to 120 liters of water a day per animal.

EVENT HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR THE OLD SCHOOL 4TH OF JULY “Never let it be said that the residents of Jefferson County do not appreciate a good party! This is evidenced by the vast number of celebratory events held every year. This year the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with many individual and business community members, added one to the list. The Old School 4th of July was a vestige of our region 100 years ago. It was an opportunity for friends and neighbors to come together and competitively eat pie, play a game of tug-o-war, have a picnic, cut a rug and enjoy the fireworks. This community event was a huge success, drawing over 1,000 visitors from around the peninsula. I am so proud of the collaboration that made it happen and hope to see it continue for many years to come.” – Amanda Funaro, 2015 President

“We wanted to send a quick thank you for the fun ribbon cutting. We enjoyed meeting everyone and acknowledge the fact they took time out of their schedules for the show of support. The new member spotlight was an impressive layout with strong placement on the page and giant picture!

Celebrate our Success! Amanda Funaro, President 2015
I am always astonished at the willingness of our community to step forward and pull together to accomplish great things. These past two years it has been my honor to serve as the President of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce. We collectively have accomplished so much
in our effort to support the Jefferson County business community, to develop new leadership, and to further our goal of making Jefferson County a place of opportunity for future generations. Thank you for helping the Chamber pull-off some amazing successes over these past years. I hope that you will please take some time to celebrate our wins and continue to look at how small deliberate change adds up to become something truly amazing. The
whole is only as great as its parts: In the past four years that I have been engaged with the Chamber, I’ve been astonished at the committed leadership of our members. The many board members with whom I have had the pleasure of working are a microcosm of this great county. We have worked together to create sound policies, and to provide support to initiatives that I hope will take Jefferson County far into the future. I have had the pleasure of being
both a participant and a witness to mentorship of young leaders in our community. Thank you, and please continue in this vital work. I believe it to be quite necessary to the social and economic health of Jefferson County. I look forward to seeing what the Chamber will do next and I have no doubt that it will be amazing. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of it. Until next time ~
