TO ONLINE NEWS Economic Development Coordinator says “Sayonara” As
a result of the IMAX film Wild California release last year and
Yuba County’s membership in the Northern California Industrial
Development Executives Association (NorCal Idea), the county’s
economic development coordinator was asked to assist in the screening
of the film in Tokyo and Osaka the week of March 5, 2001. The
IMAX program is called “Taste of California Premiere Nights,” and
has debuted in cities around the globe including London, Sydney,
Paris, and most recently Munich, Germany. Businesses from in and
around the selected cities are extended invitations to attend a
premiere and an opportunity to meet with economic development and
tourism professionals representing California, including members of
the California Technology, Trade and Commerce Agency. “It’s
an honor for Yuba County and Economic Development Coordinator John
Fleming to be selected for this trip,” said County Administrator Jan
Christofferson. “John will be representing both Yuba County and the
State of California during his visit. It’s also notable that Shoei
Food, Inc. is a local company that is headquartered in Japan.” “I
would welcome a telephone call at (530) 749-7558 if you represent a
business requesting a specific contact with a Japanese business or
organization,” Fleming stated. “The purpose of this trip will be
to encourage import/export opportunities, provide information for
potential business expansions, and emphasize California as a
significant tourism opportunity.” All
travel, food, and lodging costs associated with the trip will be paid
through the “Taste of California” marketing program.
