Business Journal event to celebrate 2008 Best Places to Work winners

SANTA ROSA, Sept. 2, 2008 – Winners of the NORTH BAY BUSINESS JOURNAL'S third annual Best Places to Work competition will be honored at a gala reception Sept. 25 at the Doubletree Hotel in Rohnert Park.

To purchase tickets or for more information, call 707-521-5264.

The winners were selected from 104 nominees by the BUSINESS JOURNAL editorial department based on several criteria, including the results of an anonymous employee survey and a company application that provided information on issues such as diversity, benefits and community involvement.
