Winning teachers will receive a $250 Visa gift card and be featured on SDCCU’s social media platforms. “SDCCU is proud to recognize caring and innovative local teachers through our SDCCU Classroom Heroes program,” said SDCCU President and CEO Teresa Campbell. “We appreciate their hard work and dedication, and we want to show our community the positive difference these educators are making.” Galvanized Strategies, a strategic communications consulting firm, today announced a new leadership appointment to advance its public affairs advisory ambition and unify its go-forward approach in key markets. Aaron Byzak, who recently served on the executive leadership team for Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, Calif., has been appointed the Chief Strategist and Lead Consultant. Byzak’s background in healthcare external affairs and executive leadership, coupled with his experience in managing corporate crises, community engagement, and state and federal policy initiatives for Tri-City Medical Center and industry giants such as UC San Diego Health Sciences, as well as various healthcare, non-profit, and advocacy organizations, uniquely positions him to drive impact in this critical area.

 Don’t let the cold sneak up on your energy bill this winter. SDG&E can help with energy-saving programs and tips to help keep your business’s energy costs low – and that can make a positive difference on your bottom line.
1. Lower the temperature. Your business can keep comfortable without cranking up the heat. Adjust your thermostat by a few degrees to help reduce your energy bill. Don’t completely turn off your heat overnight though – you’ll use more energy to heat up the building again in the morning. 2. Did you know ceiling fans help in the colder months too? Change the rotation of your fan blades to clockwise, which will pull warm air down and spread it throughout the room.  The MiraCosta Community College District’s Board of Trustees convened on December 14, 2023, for its regular meeting, during which several significant announcements and events occurred.

 Six keys to staying committed to a healthy lifestyle
Every January, many Americans make well-intentioned resolutions — such as eating healthier, exercising more, getting more sleep and losing weight — but research reveals that only about 8 percent stick with them. “Making lifestyle changes can be challenging, even daunting, depending on the goals we set and how realistic they are,” says Mitch Biermann, MD, an internal medicine physician at Scripps Clinic Carmel Valley. “When it comes to making New Year’s resolutions, set small and measurable goals that are not only achievable but sustainable and good for your health and well-being year-round.” To beat the odds, try implementing these smart strategies, whether your resolution is losing weight, reducing stress, increasing your exercise or getting more sleep.  On November 28th, the Chamber hosted its Rising Star Student of the Month program with the recognition of four local high school students. The Chamber's Rising Star Program aims to champion students that have overcome significant challenges in their lives while managing to keep on track with their education.
