The Chamber's Fall Membership Drive was a huge success, bringing in 45 new members to our community. Twenty-three members comprising four teams participated in reaching out to local businesses and discussing the benefits of membership.

The Board of Directors Team was the winning group bringing in 18 new members. Top individual recruiters were Brett Martinez, CEO of Redwood Credit Union and the Chamber's Chairman of the Board, bringing in 5 new members; Keo Hornbostel, General Manager of Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel & Spa and the Chamber's Vice-Chairman of the Board, brought in 4 new members; and Jodi Shubin from Pisenti & Brinker LLP who brought in 4 new members.
