North Bay Jobs &
Prosperity Project
The “North Bay Jobs & Prosperity
Project” (NBJPP), is a new venture
unveiled in August that provides an
opportunity for voters to learn how
candidates stand on issues that affect
our local economy and the creation
and retention of jobs. The theme for
the Project is “Jobs – and the North
Bay’s future – depend on your vote.”
The Healdsburg Chamber has
joined the Santa Rosa, Cotati,
Rohnert Park, and Windsor
Chambers of Commerce, along
with Codding Enterprises, Redwood
Credit Union, Goodwill Industries
of the Redwood Empire, North Bay
Association of Realtors, Northern
California Engineering Contractors
Association, Santa Rosa Firefighters
Local 1401, and the Santa Rosa
Small Business Development Center
in support of the NBJPP.
The North Coast Builders Exchange
joined forces with the Sonoma
County Alliance and the North Bay
Leadership Council to create the
business community’s most extensive
voter education program in Sonoma
County history.
The Project is built around an
extensive web site that offers answers
given by candidates for City Councils
and the Board of Supervisors to a series of
questions pertaining to the future of our
local economy. The goal is to have voters
judge for themselves which candidates
appear to be jobs-friendly and which do
not.
In addition, the NBJPP has a voter
registration component to encourage

business owners, their employees and families, and
the general public to get registered to vote if they
are not already.
Terry Darcy, the NBJPP Project Coordinator
said, “One of the most compelling elements of
this project is that it is completely non-partisan.
The NBJPP does not endorse candidates or take
positions on issues. It simply provides information
on jobs and the economy that is given to us by the
candidates themselves. People will vote for whoever
they want. We just want them to be able to cast an
informed vote by knowing how candidates feel on
issues that affect our local economy.”
The web site is available to view at
www.NorthBayProsperity.com Be sure to go to the
“2010 Candidates” tab to read the candidates’ views
on jobs issues
and look through People will vote for whoever they
the “Employers want. We just want them to be
Toolkit” section able to cast an informed vote by
to learn how you knowing how candidates feel
can easily provide on issues that affect our local

your employees.
We strongly encourage all members of the
Healdsburg Chamber to get their employees to visit
the web site prior to Election Day on November
2nd. Employers should not ever tell employees
how to vote – because that would be illegal! But
they can, and should, provide information on
candidates and issues to their workers.

CHILDREN deserve an excellent education.
We know that our children’s greatest opportunity for success
is through high quality education - and they rely on us to make it happen.
HEALDSBURG’S public schools need our support in this time of unprecedented school budget cuts.
Programs like the Kindergarten – 5th Grade Enrichment Program - art, music, fitness, computer, gardening,
chess, drama and science classes are completely funded through parent, business and community donations!
BEST INVESTMENT
Your investment in the future of Healdsburg students provides support for excellence in
education, Kindergarten – 12th Grade. In the 2009-2010 school year, community donations of over

every family, business and resident to give whatever they can so these programs continue to be
supported. Strong schools make strong communities with higher property values, vibrant
economies and engaged citizens.
