Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce To Install Incoming Board Members, Chairwoman at January Membership Meeting |
|
|
The Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual Membership Meeting on Thursday, January 29, 2009, at Pacifica Suites from 5-7 p.m. as part of the January Business After Hours mixer. The program will run from 5:50-6:20 p.m.
While this event is held annually, the format has changed from a luncheon to an appetizer reception. “With the economy as it is, we wanted to offer a reformatted and less expensive event that respects the time and money of our members. We are excited to celebrate the Chamber in this new format,” said Kristen Amyx, President & CEO.
The evening will include the installation of new Board members and the new Chairperson, Joanne Funari, President of Business First Bank. Amyx will present a report on the Chamber’s past year and Jim Knight, outgoing Chairman, will offer some of his reflections on the year and give the Chairman’s Award. Christine LeBon, Ambassador Chairperson will present the Ambassador of the Year award.
Incoming board members include Jim Crook of the Santa Barbara Chrysler Jeep, Michael Rattray of Smart Office Interiors, and Larry Urzua, Regional Manager of Albertsons. The Chamber wishes to thank outgoing board members Patricia Fabing of Friendship Manor, Bill Macfadyen, publisher of Noozhawk, and Craig Zimmerman, president of The Towbes Group.
“We are delighted to install a group of dedicated new directors. But it is always hard to say goodbye to directors who have served five-year terms and then leave the Board. We have been privileged to have such a wonderful group of volunteers help chart our course during the past year,” said Amyx.
The Annual Membership Meeting is open to members and non-members. The member price is $25 prior to January 29th and $30 at the door. The non-member price is $30. Pre-registration is encouraged. This event is free for those who have purchased an annual Business After Hours subscription.
Allied Waste and Marborg are the title sponsors for the event. Camino Real Hotel, Radius Group, Pacifica Suites, Deckers Outdoors, Hayward Lumber, Santa Barbara Signs and Graphics, and Haagen Printing are also event sponsors. Pacifica Suites is located at 5490 Hollister Avenue.
