CHAMBER NEWS
ENGAGING * CONNECTING * COLLABORATING
Greetings!
In the next few weeks, the Napa Chamber of Commerce will be launching a new and improved website, www.napachamber.com. We're hopeful that the new site will allow us to better engage, connect, and collaborate with you, and also provide us with better and more frequent opportunities to showcase your business.  

Along with the new website, there will be a launch of a new blog which allows members to post news and events more frequently than our current newsletter - which will no longer be available. Social media will also play a much bigger role as a method of communication to members and the Napa business community.

Please stay tuned and continue to engage, connect, and collaborate with us in 2017.

Thank you for your continued support of the Napa Chamber.



Sincerely,
Travis Stanley
President/CEO
Napa Chamber of Commerce
