Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, November 21, 2018 Page A-9 Warner pegged for RCC SBDC team Rogue Community College (RCC) Small Business Development Center Director (SBDC) Ron Goss is pleased to announce that recently retired banker, Deelia Warner has joined the RCC SBDC’s business advising team. “Deelia is a well- respected member of our local community, and offers a wealth of banking, business assistance, and personal relationship experience with many of our businesses and community leaders here in Southern Oregon.” Warner’s banking career began in 1984 and for the last 15 years she was the vice president of Community Banking Relationships for U.S. Bank, serving Josephine, Jackson and Curry county business clients. Warner is a strong believer in giving back to her community, and has volunteered for many years with several local agencies, including United Way of Jackson County, Siskiyou Community Health Center, Boys and Girls Club of the Rogue Valley, among others. She is a past president of the Illinois Valley Rotary Club and was a participant in the Ford Family Foundation Leadership Program, helping to build a 9-hole Disc Golf Course in the Illinois Valley. In 2009, she was honored by the Jackson County Commissioners for her outstanding volunteer work for a number of Jackson County organizations, and for previously serving as the president of the Medford Kiwanis Club. Warner is also currently a member of the Rogue Community College Foundation Board, and will continue to participate as a member of the RCC SBDC Advisory Council. In commenting about her new role as an SBDC business advisor, Warner said, “Having worked with small business owners for most of my career in banking, I found the business advisers at the SBDC to be invaluable partners in helping my clients become more successful in managing their businesses, or in making their dreams of becoming an entrepreneur a reality. Now that I’ve joined the SBDC team, I can continue following my passion for helping small business owners in whatever way possible.” Goss further noted, “From a Director’s perspective, I could not imagine a more qualified and ideal candidate than Deelia to join our team”. Warner’s favorite activity living in the Rogue Valley is “exploring all the nooks and crannies of this beautiful valley we are so fortunate to call home.” Deelia and her family live in the picturesque Illinois Valley, where her family settled in the early 1900s. She likes to keep busy, going on road trips and enjoying the rivers, vineyards and the surrounding mountains. See us this weekend we are open 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 23, 24 and 25!
