Mission Statement As the membership organization for business, we promote our community's economic vitality and quality of life through leadership development, advocacy, facilitation and education.
WE FOCUS ON BUSINESS.
CREATING A STRONG LOCAL ECONOMY
The Napa Chamber of Commerce promotes the local economy by encouraging Napa Chamber of Commerce members and Napa residents to shop locally. All referrals given out by the Napa Chamber of Commerce are members. The Chamber of Commerce website has detailed information about local businesses in the community. The Napa Chamber also provides many educational opportunities throughout the year such as Good Morning Napa Seminars, Napa County Economic Outlook and a Labor Law Workshop. To showcase local businesses, the Chamber also sponsors the annual Napa Valley Business Expo.
PROMOTING THE COMMUNITY
The Napa Chamber of Commerce promotes the local community in a variety of ways. We provide lists of community events and local non-profits as well as visitor, relocation and wedding information about the Napa Valley. This information is available in Napa Valley packages. The Napa Chamber also holds an annual benefit golf tournament each year, which helps support several local non-profit community organizations. The Chamber’s Annual Dinner promotes local residents with awards that are presented to the Citizen of the Year, Healthcare Professional of the Year and Public Safety Employees, among others.
PROVIDING NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
The Napa Chamber of Commerce promotes networking by sponsoring monthly After Business Hours Mixers at local businesses. The mixers are an excellent opportunity to meet other Chamber members and learn about their businesses. Other special events such as the Napa Valley Business Expo, the Economic Outlook and our Good Morning Napa's also provide great opportunities for members to network with other business professionals.
REPRESENTING BUSINESS TO GOVERNMENT
The Napa Chamber of Commerce represents business concerns to local, regional, state and federal entities. While you keep your business running, the Chamber watches your back on issues like Workers’ Comp, Healthcare, and job killer anti-business bills. Action Alerts and other legislative information is available on the Chamber’s website and is sent to members via e-mail throughout the year.
POLITICAL ACTION
The Napa Chamber of Commerce influences public policy on behalf of business. The Chamber also identifies, encourages and endorses business-friendly candidates in local, county, state and federal elections. A new program that is being unveiled is a Candidate Workshop, designed to help educate potential leaders on what it takes to run a campaign and what is expected of elected officials
REFERRALS
The Napa Chamber of Commerce receives thousands of calls annually from people all over the country asking all types of questions. Any and all referrals go only to members of the Napa Chamber of Commerce. The Napa Chamber of Commerce also furnishes relocation, visitor, wedding, business, kid and senior packages, at a cost, and winery and lodging lists to those who are interested. Members can take advantage of these opportunities by supplying us with brochures, rack cards or business cards for insertion in these packages.
BUSINESS DIRECTORY LISTING
Included in your membership investment is an alphabetical and categorical listing for your business/organization in the Napa Chamber of Commerce Business Directory. This guide goes out annually to the entire membership, who are asked to use this resource prior to picking up the “Yellow Pages.” Thousands of these directories are sent out in relocation and business packets as well.
WEBSITE LISTING
Your business is listed free of charge on the Napa Chamber’s website in the Business Directory which receives an average of over 300 unique visits per day. There are 3 ways a Chamber member can be located: 1) alphabetically, 2) typing a key word, contact person or name of the business, or 3) searching for a business by classification. Basic websites are created, at a nominal charge if desired, for members without their own sites.
INFORMATION RESOURCES
The Napa Chamber of Commerce is here to provide your business with the necessary information, whether it be local, regional, state or national, to keep you aware of what is happening in business, and help answer your business related questions. You can access demographics, visitor, community, non-profits, clubs/organizations, community events, legislative, employment and educational information from the website, newsletter and staff resources.
BUSINESS FORUMS/SEMINARS The Napa Chamber of Commerce sponsors business forums/seminars on a regularly scheduled basis. Members are invited to attend these educational opportunities at a lower rate than non-members.
COMMITTEE INVOLVEMENT
Membership in the Napa Chamber of Commerce provides you with an opportunity to get involved, if you so choose. Members are invited to join a committee and add their voice to an area of their interest. Your level of involvement is completely up to you; the more you are involved, the greater the benefits.
INEXPENSIVE PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
The Napa Chamber of Commerce provides its members with opportunities to promote their business/organization in the Hot Sheets (the Chamber’s twice monthly, member-to-member direct mail piece). Advertising in the Hot Sheets is an effective way to reach nearly 1300 member businesses and their employees. Advertising via the internet on the Chamber’s Website is also available.
