Business Editors Speak to EDC Membership in May
Three prominent business publication editors will be featured at the May 28 EDC breakfast event at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfield.
The editors of East Bay Business Times, North Bay Business Journal and Comstock’s Magazine will talk to members about their publications – what they are interested in covering, how to contact and submit news, and areas of high interest with readers.
The editors are: Al Pacciorini, East Bay Business Times; Brad Bollinger, North Bay Business Journal; and Douglas Curley, Comstock’s Magazine.
Reservations can be made by contacting Pat Uhrich at 707 864-1855.

This is a great opportunity for EDC members to become better acquainted with editors of these important business publications, and improve their chance to utilize the publications as part of their marketing/public relations strategy.

Did you know?
The city of Dixon was originally supposed to be named “Dicksonville”, after local citizen Thomas Dickson whose land had been donated to create a railroad depot. The first rail shipment of merchandise from San Francisco arrived in 1872 mistakenly addressed to “Dixon,” and the new spelling has been used since mainly out of "simplicity."
