A Big Year Ahead for Our Chamber Community: January Newsletter

From the President
This year is an exciting one for the Carmichael Chamber of Commerce.
As I enter my third year as President, we’re also celebrating 78 years of supporting local businesses and strengthening our community. Across the region, many chambers are raising dues and narrowing their offerings, but as a volunteer-operated chamber, we’re committed to keeping dues affordable for another year while continuing to expand the value of membership.
Thanks to strong member support last year, the Chamber was able to contribute thousands of dollars to local nonprofits and community initiatives, celebrate a record-breaking year of ribbon cuttings, a 300% increase over prior years, and continue growing and modernizing our award-winning online directory, which drives millions of views to member businesses.
Thank you for being part of a Chamber built on connection, visibility, and community.
— Rosie Buck
