Make sure to check your weather apps before you head out this three-day weekend – chances are you might be rethinking that long haul! Although our December wasn’t so snowy and white, our January is looking like late-starts and plenty of de-icer to go around.

At the Chamber, January tends to be a slow start providing our team ample time to gear up for the fast-paced events season to roll out beginning in the Spring! With Golf Tournaments, Lunch & Learns, and plenty of programs to introduce you to a variety of industries, make sure you and your staff are in-the-loop with all of the upcoming opportunities you can be a part of.


Chamber Events:

Remember!  Leads & Needs events will take place only three times per month in 2020; first week at Beaches (Downtown Vancouver), second at Mill Creek Pub (Battle Ground), and third week at Chick-fil-A Cascade Park (East Vancouver). There will be no Leads & Needs Events next week.

Leads & Needs: Downtown Vancouver – Wednesday, February 5
Let’s grab coffee! Meet us at Beaches Restaurant for a hot breakfast, delicious coffee and of course, plenty of connection-making! Pre-register and entry is only $5 for members! Presentation will be by Paul Montague, Tax Preparation.

Battle Ground Monthly Luncheon – Thursday, February 6
Our first monthly luncheon in Battle Ground will take place on Thursday, February 6, featuring an informational workshop about business growth and development. Be sure to pre-register as registration will close two days prior to this event. Lunch is always included.
