a weekly update from the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce
THIS WEEK AT THE CHAMBER
San Jose topped another list this week, this time the Greenest Cities in America list.

The SJSV Chamber's newest initiative, Silicon Valley IDEA, is moving forward. Many may have already received the initial invitation to our Oct. 25 Summit at Microsoft SV, but in case you missed it, click here to read more and RSVP.

I want to thank those of you who have already taken our 2016 Annual Member survey . Your feedback and insight is an integral part of our planning process for 2017. If you haven't already done so, please take 10 minutes to complete the survey, which was emailed earlier this week.

As mentioned in previous communications, economic development is at the heart of what we do here at the SJSV Chamber. Telling our city's story is part of how we encourage visitors to come, visit and relocate their businesses and we'd like to share this video that chamber member Team San Jose has produced as part of their efforts to showcase our region.

And as always, stay on top of our day-to-day activities by following us on social media, bookmarking our website and coming out to our monthly events.
