Mission

The Trusted Voice for Business

We are committed to strengthening the local economy by promoting the community, providing networking opportunities, and representing the interests of business.

We create value for our business members through a variety of public/private partnerships and programs designed to achieve tangible results and deliver a net return on their investment.
We produce an annual Member Directory along with a major events brochure to stimulate tourism, a wine, dine, lodging and spa guide, and a town map containing historical sites, recreational activities and points of interest.
The Chamber achieves member value by offering a range of networking opportunities. Members receive insightful business tips from subject matter experts at monthly meetings and participate in Business-After-Hours (BAH) social mixers that provide an opportunity for sharing information and building friendships that lead to commercial relations.  
To further enlarge business opportunities, we schedule a variety of marketing promotions, advertising and public relations activities in a number of Chamber publications and rack cards as well as via the web. These outreach vehicles are designed to garner positive exposures, build market traction and create customer awareness.  The Chamber also advertises in Sonoma County Tourism Bureau publications and regional winegrower association journals to reach even broader audiences.
Our goals include inviting business participation in community and civic events that enhance the quality of life and build a customer base. These activities involve ribbon cuttings, grand openings and anniversary celebrations for our members as well as a continuing stream of calendar information, news, member activities and focused articles published in weekly and monthly online newsletters.  
Education is a major focus. The Chamber’s Education Committee actively seeks local high school seniors who plan to go to college as candidates for its annual scholarship program conducted in cooperation with the Pacific Coast Air Museum (PCAM).
