Building A Strong Local Economy

• You have a competitive advantage as a member of the Napa Chamber. Over 1,000 unique visitors per day visit Your Chamber’s website, and the Business Directory is the most popular feature. Have you checked your listing lately?
• You can get the word out about your service or product. Whether it’s a press release placed in the E-Newsletter, a Hot Sheets flyer, advertising in programs, face-to-face marketing or networking at events, your Napa Chamber offers you myriad of ways to promote your business to the community and other businesses.

Promoting the Community

• You can find virtually any community event on Your Chamber’s Community Calendar at www.napachamber.com . And so can anyone in the world who views it!

Providing Networking Opportunities

Depending on your interest, you can make a difference and meet some great people at the same time. Check out the Get Connected page on the left.

• You can stay up to date with how green regulations and restrictions might impact local businesses, making recommendations encouraging reasonable policies that will not unduly burden local businesses or our community.

Representing Business to Government

• You can call on Your Chamber to get support for legislation that helps your business. Or, Your Chamber will lobby against detrimental legislation and over-regulation. Your Chamber Voice (at www.napachamber.com) allows you to write directly to any elected official on issue important to you.

Political Action
