My full name is…
Katherine J. Hauser Rubel
 
My business has been a Chamber Member for…
43 years...a very long time!
 
Along with being on the Chamber Board, I am currently…
Member/Board member Claremont Sunrise Rotary, Member of Citrus Valley Association of Realtors, RE Broker, Notary, and a dog lover.
 
If I could change professions, I would be…
An international food critic, an architect, a writer or a painter (no money in that last one).
 
If I were to tell one person "Thank You" for helping me become the person I am today, it would be…
My parents. They encouraged me, supported my sometimes-crazy ideas, loved me, and they would let me fail.

Most people don’t know…
I danced, ballet, for 15 years, and still I am one of the clumsiest people around.
 
To recharge I…
Distance walk, read, see movies and go out to eat at all different type of restaurants.
 
The most important lesson I've learned in the last year is…
Just keep moving forward, don't get hung up on what could have been or what was.
 
A place I never been but would like to travel most is…
Heaven, if I did not have to die to visit.
 
The characteristic I most admire in others is…
Sincerity.
 
The one thing/person I would want with me if I were stranded on a desert island is…
The Incredible Hulk.
 
I became a Board Member because…
I care about Claremont and I am a business person. It is an opportunity to join my City and my work in a positive and productive way.
 
My favorite part about being a Claremont Chamber Member is…
The positive work we do to bring the best of Claremont to the community.
 
My advice to young entrepreneurs is to…
Keep moving toward what you have a passion for. Don't get caught up in the money trap. It will sidetrack you and make it very hard to focus on what you really want to do. Stay on track.
