At our Business & Economic Outlook luncheon on December 1, 2022, we welcomed Bruce Stenslie of Economic Development Collaborative, Shelby Day of Meissner Filtration Products, and Neil McMillan of Express Employment Professionals to discuss today's workforce challenges. It was an insightful discussion for businesses and organizations struggling to attract new workers and retain current employees. We received numerous inquiries for presentations and resources from the event so we compiled it here on our website for all to access.

With questions about the ongoing drought, new food waste rules, and Measure E updates, Oxnard Leadership 2022 got answers directly from the city's Public Works department. This was the 10th and final session for the Class of 2022, which is the largest cohort since the program began in 2016. 

The WVCBA recently welcomed StretchLab Camarillo as a new member! StretchLab provides 1-on-1 assisted stretching and is on a mission to "Live Long" and help people do the things that they love, better. No two bodies are the same and no two stretches at StretchLab are the same. Owner Lauren Glick shares why leaving a career at the fire department led her to open this life-changing business.

As the 2022 Oxnard Leadership program winds down, participants experienced two eye-opening sessions in late September and mid-October. From SWAT demonstrations to packing food for the homeless, Public Safety Day and Health & Human Services Day highlighted two different - yet in many ways connected - aspects of our community. 

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2022 Camarillo Top Ten Awards on October 7 at Serra Center! Now in its 55th year, the annual awards program celebrates Camarillo's stars -- the people, organizations and businesses who are making a difference in the city.
