Cydcor was proud to support our local community and fellow Californians as the premier sponsor of Rock the Recovery, a night of food, and music in support of California Strong. Funds raised at the benefit concert, which took place on Sunday, Aug. 4th at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, will help California Strong provide disaster relief funds to California residents impacted by future local tragedies like the Borderline shooting in Thousands Oaks, as well as the Camp, Woolsey, and Hill fires that wreaked havoc across our state.
Rock the Recovery was founded by Ava Flora Friedman, a Westlake High School senior who was inspired by the power of music to bring people together. The event featured performances by an exciting lineup popular local bands from a variety of genres: JACQX, Goodnight Kiss, Sitting on Stacy, Jake Parr, The Malibooz, and headliner Ray Parker Jr. and his all-star band. Hosted by professional comedian, author, and speaker Joe Dungan, the evening also included heartfelt words from Cydcor President Vera Quinn, as well as Rock the Recovery founder Ava Flora Friedman, California Strong Director Danielle Stone, Borderline shooting survivors Hannah Michalak and Cassidy Addison, Congressman Brad Sherman, and community member, painter, and poet Cindy Martia.

Through ticket sales, Rock the Recovery merchandise sales, and prize raffle sales, the event surpassed its fundraising goal, bringing in $35,000 in proceeds on behalf of California Strong.
Drawing on a shared love of music and their home town, event attendees danced, laughed, and rocked out, proving that when communities unite, they can overcome anything. Cydcor was grateful for the opportunity to play a role in making this remarkable event a successful one.
Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, will kick off 2009 with a brand-new headquarters in Westlake Village, Calif., just minutes away from its current space.
“Cydcor is proud to be a growing business, especially in this difficult economy,” said Gary Polson, CEO of Cydcor. “As we have added new clients and continued to differentiate ourselves with financial and operational programs to ensure quality sales for our clients, our space and facilities needs have changed.”
In mid-January, Cydcor and its 80+ employees will move into Conejo Valley’s Westlake Park Place, a new 27-acre campus style office development. Occupying the nearly the entire 4th floor with 19,000 square feet, Cydcor’s new space is almost twice the size of its current location, which the company occupied for the past seven years.
Cydcor started with about 2900 sq ft in 2001. Then in 2005, Cydcor started knocking down walls to gain and additional 6800 square feet, and then again by adding a separate suite for a another 2000 sq ft in 2007.
Filled with floor-to-ceiling windows, state-of-the-art technology, audio visual equipment and updated phone systems, the new space offers more community areas for team members to comfortably collaborate during casual meetings. Additional training rooms complement Cydcor’s expanding educational programs dedicated to the development of its people. A contemporary design infused with shades of green reflects Cydcor’s innovative nature and vibrant culture.
“We were recently recognized as one of the best places to work in the area by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal, and the new space enables Cydcor to create an environment that best reflects our culture, values and who we are as a business,” said Jim Majeski, president of Cydcor. “The team at Cydcor is dedicated and spends a lot of time here, and this space allows us to continue to make Cydcor a positive, fun, and productive environment to be a part of.”
Cydcor’s new headquarters is conveniently located near a myriad of amenities including fitness centers, restaurants and shopping. Westlake Park Place, near U.S. 101 Freeway, boasts a classic Mediterranean style with overhanging roofs and unobstructed views of the Santa Monica Mountains.
