Lunch with Chamber CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n The local political scene is just as complicated as the national scene; with minimum wage, mandatory paid leave, upcoming bond issues and taxes in the forefront. The San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce is right in the middle of it all and we are very pleased that our May 10 speaker will be Aimee Faucett, Executive Vice President and CEO of the Chamber.<\/p>\n Faucett oversees the Chamber\u2019s day-to-day operations and directs public policy initiatives and strategies to keep San Diego business friendly. She\u2019ll be outlining the Chamber\u2019s positions on all these issues as they affect local businesses and the 2016 election.<\/p>\n Check-in time for the 11 a.m. meeting will begin at 10:30 am. Cost for the full-course luncheon is $20. Lunch is served at noon, followed by the speakers. Due to space limitations, reservations are required. To join us, RSVP to Marjie at NCRWF99@gmail.com<\/a>.

Our club is especially touched that the award is named after the late Louisa Akens, also an NCRWF member who volunteered for years for Republican causes, and that her daughter, Carol Reed, another long-time NCRWF member, is well-known in Republican circles for her leadership and nurturing of Republican candidates. We are proud to be part of this very special circle of life that has fostered Republicanism in San Diego County.<\/p>\n Fashion show<\/strong><\/p>\n Be sure to circle June 14 on your calendar.
