 What's  New
“It’s Baaaaaaack!” – The Oil Severance Tax (AB656 –
Alberto Torrico). This bill is under the guise of funding
higher education. Remember, Kern County produces
approximately 70 percent of California’s oil, so this bill
would have a major impact on Kern County businesses,
employers and local government. (more)

Letter from the Chair

 

Letter From the Chair
Happy New Year everyone! It is truly an honor to serve as your SJVC Chairman. As we move forward into 2009, many are relieved to lay 2008 to rest. We are all aware of the changes that transpired during this past year; nevertheless we cannot loose sight of the magnificence that also occurred.


We are an industry that is innovative, strong, and resilient. As your chairman, I encourage all of us to look at this time as one of great opportunity. To reflect on what we have accomplished and do more of it, and what we have fallen short on and raise the bar.


There is a model known as the the “Cycle of Creative Destruction” in which momentum builds and inspires creativity, complacency eventually sets in, followed by atrophy which can accurately define the circumstances we are currently experiencing.


That being said, just as a “New Year” is a beginning, we now have an enormous opportunity before us to emerge from the end of one cycle and create new momentum to shape our industry and our destiny.


In times of change, we look for consistency and one constant you can count on is that your 2009 API board will continue to support our industry and community through events and charitable contributions. I look forward to seeing all of you at our first general meeting on January 20, 2009 and personally wishing you a “Happy New Year” As always, I am appreciative of your continuing support.

Sincerely,
Jodi M. King
SJVC Chairman
