2010 holds great promise for San Diego Businesses


Members of the San Diego Business Resources organization are busy building their capabilities and businesses.

A quick look back at the close of 2009. Along with their own celebrations with their families and their businesses, members took time to celebrate the season at the home of Jerry Doran in December where gifts were exchanged (white elephant, ferrari's, fancy hats, you name it) . Members (and some former members) took the opportunity to also discuss their business plans for 2010 and to announce the officers for 2010.

In December, SDBR named Christine McDannel, our SDBR Businessperson of the year. This award will be presented at the first SDBR EVENT of the year, SDBR presents…Strategies for Growing Your Business in a New Economy on January 27th, 2010 at the Coyote Café in Old Town.
