Dear Chamber Members and Carmichael Community,

As we reach the halfway point of 2025, I want to thank you for being part of what makes the Carmichael Chamber of Commerce such a vibrant and connected community. This year has already been one for the books and it’s all because of you. From welcoming new members to hosting record-breaking events, we’ve built powerful momentum together and we’re just getting started.

💼 Real Member-to-Member Impact

What truly makes our Chamber special is the way our members support one another. I personally hired House to Home Moving, a fellow member, for my move this year—and I’ve seen residential members like Rusty and Diana do the same.

When Bobbie from Bobbie Harris Transformational Coaching needed professional branding photos, she turned to fellow member Jessica Neves—a perfect example of the value of community and collaboration.

We receive regular calls asking, “Do you know someone who does ___?” And we proudly say, “Yes! we have a Chamber member for that.”

🙏 With Gratitude to Our Volunteer Board

Being a volunteer-run organization isn’t without its challenges—but it’s also what makes this Chamber so special. The success we’ve seen this year is thanks in no small part to the strength, dedication, and heart of our Board of Directors. To our board: thank you for your leadership, creativity, and commitment to this community. Your service makes everything we do possible.

Thank you for continuing to believe in the power of connection, collaboration, and community. Whether you’re a brand-new member or a long-time supporter, you are helping shape a stronger, more vibrant Carmichael.

Let’s keep the momentum going and finish 2025 even stronger.

With deep appreciation,

Rosie Buck

President
