Assemblyman Garrick names Kaiser as Small Business Owner of the Year

Assemblyman Martin Garrick honored Chamber Board member Cliff Kaiser (pictured at right) of Kaiser & Associates, IT Consulting as the Small Business Owner of the Year for the 74th Assembly District. Kaiser was formally honored during the California Small Business Association's "Salute to Small Business" at the Sacramento Convention Center.

"I chose to honor Cliff because he creates jobs and provides a quality service for other North County small businesses. He is active in both the Vista and Carlsbad Chambers of Commerce and is a Captain in the Naval Reserves. Cliff is truly an all around asset to the North County business community, and is a great example of the California dream," Garrick said.

In 2000, Cliff founded Kaiser & Associates, IT Consulting, a Vista-based company. Since his company's inception, Cliff has added three employees and has provided IT consulting services to over 200 San Diego companies.

As a member of the Technology Committee of the Vista Chamber, Cliff has helped organize a series of forums on pertinent issues. Speaking on topics like "Introducing Windows VISTA to Vista", Cliff has donated his time to help other small businesses integrate new technologies. He is also currently working on a plan to bring WiFi wireless Internet access to Vista.

Because of his efforts, Cliff was recently re-elected for a three-year term as a director for the Vista Chamber. "Small business owners like Cliff Kaiser are the lifeblood of our communities. We must protect and encourage their growth. It's one of my main goals in the Legislature to be an advocate for small businesses, in hopes of restoring the California dream," said Garrick.

Assemblyman Garrick represents North San Diego County and serves the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos, Solana Beach, Vista and portions of Oceanside and San Diego.
