Truong framed his exit as striking out on his own, but the position was eliminated June 4, according to an internal memorandum from now-President and CEO Derrick Seaver.

Seaver takes the helm at the regional chamber of commerce May 17, but first he sat down to talk about his priorities, economy and even Google.

It’s been a millennium and a decade since two identical numbers divisible by 10 paired together in such a beautiful fashion.

Bob Linscheid will serve as interim CEO while the organization looks for a permanent replacement for fired executive Matt Mahood.

Leaders of the regional chamber of commerce refused to name the people responsible and offered little else in the way of context.

It’s a remarkable development for the fundraising powerhouse, which has long served as a political counterweight to South Bay Labor.

Sources say SPUR San Jose Director Teresa Alvarado and ex-chamber CEO Jim Cunneen could be tapped as the next leader of SVO.

South Bay Labor has employed racist tactics to prevent minorities—including 1998 San Jose council hopeful Tony West—from securing office.

The SVO should no longer be entrusted to be the voice of the business community in Silicon Valley. It should be dismantled.

Matt Mahood announced his resignation this morning as a litany of nonprofits severed ties with the business group.

A day has come and gone since the chamber of commerce posted—and then promptly removed—the ad. But the fallout is far from over.

Proponents of the Fair Election Initiative failed to gather enough valid signatures to qualify the measure for the November ballot.

Del Biaggio joined the Rotary Club of San Jose in 1983 and served as a member on the Board of Directors and as a foundation trustee.

Toni Taber levels the charge as part of a lawsuit filed by the ROV against the city to try to revive the labor-backed Fair Elections Initiative.

The SVO president slammed the ROV as exceptionally inept, and called for the DA to investigate “improprieties” under Shannon Bushey’s watch.

Decades of community-building suffers a setback as performances cancel, dining goes takeout-only and the economy slides into recession.
