Style Magazine, Roseville, Granite Bay, & Rocklin; September 18
Whether it’s the work perks, camaraderie with fellow co-workers, or a passion for the business’ product or service, there are many components that play into a company’s “cool” factor. Where we live, we’re lucky to have a ton of places that meet all the criteria above, plus more, which was the inspiration behind this month’s feature. Starting on page 39, you can read about 17 places headquartered here that anyone would be lucky to work at. Some have been around for over a century, others started small and are now internationally known, and a few have dog-friendly digs or do impressive amounts of community service. I’m pretty positive there’s a company, and office culture, that’ll strike a chord with you. And if you happen to be job hunting, word on the street is some are currently hiring! Wherever you’re at in your professional or personal journey, let this issue be a reminder that it’s never too late to flip the script and try something new. Cheers!

Margo Ezell has lived in<br />
<strong>Roseville</strong> for over four<br />
decades and is beloved<br />
in the community for her<br />
tireless volunteer efforts.<br />
After retiring at 60 from Pacific Bell (now AT&T),<br />
Ezell knew she wanted to make a difference.<br />
Her younger days of being adrift—at <strong>18</strong>, shortly<br />
after her father’s death, she bought a Greyhound<br />
ticket for as far away as her limited funds would<br />
take her and wound up in Sacramento, surviving<br />
on odd jobs until eventually finding steady<br />
work—would later help Ezell empathize deeply<br />
in her efforts to help the homeless.<br />
Over the past 20 years, she’s volunteered with<br />
and sits on the board of directors of What Would<br />
Jesus Do?, providing meals and transportation<br />
services for those in dire need, and liaised with<br />
countless other area nonprofits, lending a hand<br />
wherever she can. These days, you might find her<br />
passing out meals at St. Vincent de Paul’s food bank<br />
or driving someone less fortunate to a medical,<br />
DMV, or court appointment. Her passion project<br />
is making sure those with SSI (Supplemental<br />
Security Income) are able to take advantage of<br />
their benefits and find the resources they need to<br />
get back on their feet. For all her efforts, Ezell was<br />
honored with the 2017 Sylvia Besana Community<br />
Volunteer Award. “It’s rewarding to see someone<br />
get off the street and progress in their lives,” she<br />
shares. “It enriches own my life in return.”<br />
