Dear RMDZ Workshop Attendee:
It is our pleasure to invite you to the California Integrated Waste
Management Board's "Zone Works" training workshop at the Wine & Roses Hotel
in Lodi on June 21-22, 2007. You've been requesting a workshop about
business siting, so don't miss this one!
The goal of this workshop is to provide Zone Administrators with the
specific tools and knowledge of how to successfully site businesses in their
zones. This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn all about the
typical stages in the business siting process. There will be presentations
from actual business owners on their experiences in getting their facilities
sited and panel members from the local governments and regional resources
that share the role they play in getting facilities sited.
We strongly encourage you to attend, especially if you are a new Zone
Administrator. Also, please invite others on your RMDZ team to what will be
an interesting workshop. Lastly, don't miss an opportunity to chat with
former Board Member, Michael Paparian and meet our newest Board Member,
Wesley Chesbro. We look forward to a successful event and hope to see you
this June in Lodi!
Sincerely,
Corky Mau
Supervisor, Recycling Market Development Zone Program
