Our speaker for the was Andrew Gregson, who gave his introductory craft talk. Andrew has had an interesting background preceding his current position as CEO of the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce. He was born and raised in England. He attended a classic English boy’s boarding school, was in the Boy Scouts, and in a children’s choir. He later joined the army and served as one of the royal guards. He also worked for a while in Germany in the Fire Service and later in sales. He came to the U.S. to also work in sales and marketing for a law firm. He was worked for the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce before joining the our Chamber of Commerce earlier this year.
Zoot Valesco closed the meeting at 1:30 with a quote from Henry Ford: which roughly stated is ‘When concerned that everything is blowing against you, you should remember that a plane takes off against the wind.’
