  March 2010 B2B Speaker Sponsor

  Santa Barbara Hotel Group's Millie Matz, Director of Sales and Marketing, conducts a Trivia Contest following her slide presentation.

  

This month's Business2Business Breakfast was one of the most exciting ever, thanks to speaker sponsor Santa Barbara Hotel Group, operator of the Best Western Pepper Tree Inn and four other local hospitality properties: Best Western Encina Lodge & Suites; Brisas Del Mar Inn at the Beach; Colonial Beach Inn; and Inn by the Harbor. A family business, SBHG owners Jeanette and Pam Webber attended the meeting, as did managers from each of their hotels.

During her 10-minute presentation, Director of Sales and Marketing Millie Matz shared fascinating facts about each hotel's unique location, atmosphere, amenities and special packages, while participants furiously scribbled notes. After the breakfast officially ended, almost every single attendee stayed for an extra 15 minutes in hopes of answering a trivia question correctly. The lucky winners (pictured) will enjoy a free one-night stay at one of the SBHG hotels, plus passes for various activities.

Another highlight of this breakfast was the debut of a 2-minute stretch break led by Motion Unlimited's Isaac Osborne. B2B attendees learned a simple, yet effective, exercise to keep them limber and healthy. Motion Unlimited was also welcomed as a new Chamber member along with 7 other Goleta and Santa Barbara area businesses...a great month!

Ongoing B2B Breakfast sponsors include delicious catering by Marmalade Café, hot beverage service from Zizzo's Coffee and the sound system provided by Santa Barbara AMS Entertainment.

The next B2B Breakfast will be on Tuesday, April 6th, 7:00-9:00am. Attendees are encouraged to pre-register online by noon the previous Friday for inclusion on the "Hot Sheet."
