State of the Valley Dinner

This event brings together civic and business leaders for a night of celebrating the year’s successes and learning about what lies ahead for our beautiful and historic Sonoma Valley.   Presentations from key elected officials and community leaders provide an overview of our community’s important trends and topics. In addition, the Sonoma Chamber will present its “Business of the Year” Award during the event.


Women In Leadership Luncheon

Our Women in Leadership Luncheon is an opportunity to connect with other businesswomen in Sonoma Valley and gain insight from exciting female leaders. Our keynote speakers vary in presentation topics and professions, but all have stories to tell about their professional journey. Women and Men are encouraged to attend, as wisdom goes beyond gender and insight is for all to hear. The Chamber presents the annual ‘Influential Woman Leader’ award during the event.


Meet the MayorMeet The Mayor

This cocktail hour event is held in January of each year. It is free and open to the public and is held at a local business within the city limits. The Mayor and Councilmembers usually say a few words to the public regarding the city and current challenges or issues. This event provides an opportunity for members of the public and the business community to share ideas with elected officials in a relaxed, casual environment.


LOCALFest

This annual event works like a ‘expo’ for new businesses to introduce themselves. Any new business in the City of Sonoma can participate at no cost to showcase their goods and services to locals. In addition to the businesses, LOCALfest also provides an opportunity for local nonprofit organizations to introduce themselves to the community for fundraising and volunteer outreach needs. The community is invited to walk through the venue to see new products and services that are being offered.
