The Chamber's networking opportunities offer the business community different event styles in which members can meet other businesspeople and network to make new connections for their businesses and build their clientele.

Details of Chamber events can be found in the e-newsletter, on this website's Chamber Calendar, in Business Briefs on the Marketplace page of the Appeal-Democrat, and in the Chamber's newsletter "Business Today", which is distributed as an insert into the Appeal-Democrat on the last Monday of each month as well as in the Chamber's monthly mailer. The monthly mailer packet includes a hard copy calendar by month. Of course, feel free to call the Chamber office at 530-743-6501 for event information.

Ribbon Cuttings

New members often choose to have a ribbon cutting to introduce their business to the community. These are public events professionally hosted by the Chamber's Ambassadors. Ribbon cuttings are offered at no charge to renewing members who have changed their location or business name, have performed a major re-model, or for other special reasons.

Business After Hours

The Business After Hours is held every other month. It will no longer be held monthly in order that attention can be better paid to the quality of the event. Planning is ongoing, so follow the Chamber calendars and e-newsletters is a must.

Business Connection Breakfasts

The cost is $13 with advance registration, $15 thereafter. Members are invited to display promotional items on the networking table at the events.

Every year, the Chamber hosts it's Annual Gala. In 2010, this major "themed" event was held in March at Beale Air Force Base, honoring both our members and our military. In 2011, the theme was "Celebrating Our Roots in Agriculture" and was held at the DAP Enterprises in Live Oak. The event highlights the accomplishments of the previous year, and provides an opportunity for the entire Yuba-Sutter business community to celebrate and recognize the significant contributions made by many local businesses and individuals through the presentation of several awards. These include:

Athena Award,

Chamberopoly! Chamberopoly Game Board 2010

The Chamber's annual mega Business After Hours, held the third Thursday in September, is one of our favorite mixers. "Chamberopoly" was held for the first time in 2009, following on the heels of another very successful fundraiser we called "Great Balls of Fire!" Caterers from our local area also provide a lavish display of fine foods, desserts and hors d'ouvres at this free event. Raffles, drawings, and prizes galore, with a Monopoly theme.
