We’re also excited to honor Peter Rumble with the Grabill | Hedgpeth Housing Champion Award. As CEO of the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber of Commerce, Peter has focused on improving the systems that support our regional economy. Notably, he formed a loan pool with Housing Trust Silicon Valley to invest in affordable housing throughout Sonoma County—the only such program run by a Chamber of Commerce in the country, recently recognized as the best Chamber program in the Western U.S. The Chamber also works on expanding private sector investment in quality childcare, launched the Sonoma Small Business Incubator, and increased support for cultural activities in Santa Rosa’s downtown.
We are grateful for Peter Rumble’s leadership and advocacy in advancing cross-sector housing solutions for our community.
