Roseville 2010
Roseville 2010 is the Roseville Chamber of Commerce’s 25th Annual South Placer Economic Event.
At Roseville 2006, speaker and consultant Rebecca Ryan of Next Generation Consulting discussed the need for attracting and retaining the next generation of talent in our community. It was apparent that there was need for a young professional organization. This was acted upon by the City of Roseville Economic Development Department and the staff of the Roseville Chamber of Commerce. Soon after, a 13-member Leadership Council was formed and helped identify the needs of our next generation leaders through focus groups and an online poll. At Roseville 2007 our group was launched and has grown ever since. This year the event is being held Thursday, May 13, 2010. We hope you’ll stop by the Ignite booth!
