Sunset Networking Mixer with Olympic Gold Medalist Brian Goodell
Who better than an Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer to offer life lessons that apply brilliantly to business? From motivational best practices to strategies for excellence, Mission Viejo’s own gold medalist Brian Goodell will offer Chamber members and friends insights and techniques that helped him reach the top.
This poolside event, hosted by the Mission Viejo Nadadores, will also offer great opportunities to network with your friends, colleagues and fellow Chamber members in a relaxed, informal setting.
So join us! The networking mixer takes place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 15. Cost to attend is $10 for members, $20 for non-members. Mission Viejo Nadadores is located at 27474 Casta Del Sol, Mission Viejo, CA 92692.

Stay on top of Issues Impacting Business!
The Legislative Alliance of Southern Orange County – a business coalition that includes the South OC Regional Chamber, the Building Industry Association, the OC Association of Realtors, the Orange County Business Council and other business organizations – meets again Friday, July 23 at Saddleback College, in the Student Services Center, Room 212.
Members of the Alliance, which just concluded its successful defeat of anti-business Measure D in Mission Viejo, are committed to continued partnership in order to more effectively address shared issues of concern, particularly at the local level.
Upcoming meetings will feature representatives from campaigns for or against selected statewide propositions who will explain how each respective proposition may impact business. Meetings will also feature updates from local, state and federal elected officials and their representatives.
So mark your calendar for every 4th Friday of the month at 7:30 a.m. starting July 23 at Saddleback College for the Legislative Alliance of Southern Orange County. All South OC Chamber members are welcome to attend.
And if you’re interested in diving more deeply into the issues impacting business and learning what you can do to advocate for or against certain measures and legislation, don’t miss the South Orange County Chamber’s monthly Governmental Affairs Committee meetings every 3rd Wednesday of each month.
This month’s meeting takes place Wednesday, July 21 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Laguna Woods Village Community Clubhouse, 24351 El Toro Road in Laguna Woods.
