COURTESY OF CAL STATE BAKERSFIELDeven months after adopting a for-mal program to assist small busi-nesses in the region, California StateUniversity, Bakersfield has hiredlocal business attorney and market-
ing professional Brandon Martin as thedirector of the CSUB Small Business Devel-opment Center serving Kern, Inyo andMono counties.
“I’m looking forward to getting the wordout about the useful services and technolo-gies our organization offers to local entre-preneurs as well as the opportunity to buildthe solutions-focused assistance we canprovide in new areas,” Martin said.
The CSUB SBDC operates under the UCMerced SBDC Regional Network in CentralCalifornia and is part of a national networkof centers established by the U.S. SmallBusiness Administration to provide assis-tance to small businesses looking to start orexpand their operations. The local centeroffers free and paid services in the form ofone-on-one consulting with business pro-fessionals, workshops on topics such ashuman resources and marketing, and helpwith small business loan applications.
CSUB became host of the SBDC in Octo-ber 2010 and has already seen successunder the leadership of Interim DirectorJohn Pryor, who has amassed a team ofconsultants, including faculty and MBAstudents from CSUB.
“Thanks to the excellent efforts of mypredecessor, John Pryor, our team of stand-out consultants, and the university's excel-
lent faculty, we are well-positioned to con-tinue to be a positive, creative force in ourcommunity in the years to come,” Martinsaid.
Most recently, Martin served as Commu-nications Director of the 2010 BakersfieldBusiness Conference, which is organized byhis father, prominent Bakersfield businessattorney George Martin. Brandon Martin
also recently launched an Internet consult-ing business in 2009 called Mighty Mega-phone, which he said has helpedfamiliarize him with many of the modernand topical issues facing small businesses.
During his 10-year professional career,Martin has advised small and large busi-nesses in California, practicing law in theareas of real estate development and envi-ronmental law for firms in Santa Barbara,Los Angeles, and Bakersfield. He has alsoserved as a lecturer in CSUB’s Environmen-tal Resources Management program on thetopic of environmental compliance.
“CSUB’s School of Business and PublicAdministration is excited about what Bran-don Martin brings to the table,” said Associ-ate Dean Mark Evans. “He has theleadership and communication skills toestablish great rapport with the SBDC’sconsultants, business clients, communitystakeholders, and our university. He isstrategic, visionary, and comfortable withthe new technologies driving businesscompetitiveness.”
Martin holds a bachelor of arts in com-munication studies from University of Cali-fornia at Los Angeles, and a law degree fromUniversity of California, Berkeley School ofLaw. While in law school, he helped smallbusinesses in Alameda and Contra CostaCounties by serving pro-bono for the SmallBusiness Counseling Center and theSamuelson Clinic for Law and Technology.

une brings graduation, which brings anavalanche of emotions. Joy, glee, relief, sor-row, indecision, and loss are just a few. Asan eighth-grade teacher,I get to experience graduation every year
complete with the range of emotions!As is typical, we junior high teachers always
know hundreds of high school graduates as well. On a recent evening, Ridgeview High School
invited my junior high’s teachers to be a part oftheir graduation, encouraging our teachers todress in full college grad regalia and accompanythe graduates on the field. We accompanied theamazing teachers who took our places as ourstudents went off to high school.
Our junior high opened five years ago so theclass of 2011 holds our first grads from ourschool. Several of us walked into the Wolf Packgym and found ourselves hugged and exclaimedover for the duration of our time there.
Students there were exuberant, joyful, andemotionally overwhelmed with the closing of a
chapter in their lives.I saw former students
who performed at the top oftheir classes as well as acouple who I feared would-n’t be able to complete thefour-year journey.
It did my heart good! Probably the most touch-
ing part for me was whenPrincipal Steve Holmesannounced to the studentsthat the assembly of all thegraduates from RidgeviewHigh School was the
essence of their goal for our kids: To see success-ful young people graduate from high school.
It brought a tear to my eye … but then Ilaughed for joy!

he Bakersfield Pet Food Pantrywould like to offer a sincerethank you to Ms. Yarian and herpreschool class at ReadylandPre-School. They were busy this
year — not only learning everythingthey need to know to start kindergarten— but also helping our community.
Ms . Yarian’s class held a penny drivefor the Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry —collecting $131 over the period of sever-al months. They previously held anotherpenny drive for a school that had caughtfire; when that drive was over, they
wanted to continue collecting penniesand elected to help the Bakersfield PetFood Pantry.
We are ever so grateful to the childrenand Ms. Yarian. This just proves thatyou are never too young to make a dif-ference. Donations made to the pet foodpantry go towards helping people whohad come upon difficult times, with petfood for their family pet. The food col-lected also gets delivered to local foodbanks and other agencies for distribu-tion.
