WHY DO WE DO IT?

Signature Events are not easy to continue; but their benefit to the Novato business community and the residents is undeniable. The Chamber helps throw some of the North Bay's most unique and special events that help draw the community closer and showcase the best that Novato has to offer.

Other Annual Events

State of the City | Winter/Spring

Hosted by the Government Affairs and Business Education committee, the State of the City gives our residents and businesses the opportunity to meet key City officials and guage how well the community is doing on meeting goals.

Candidate Forum

In years where Novato residents are tasked to vote for local leaders, the Novato Chamber will hold a candidates forum. The Chamber may also hold forums for ballot measures and propositions.

Alumni Kickoff

Before we launch another year of Leadership Novato, the Chamber welcomes ALL alumni and past participants back! This gives the New class an opportunity to witness the legacy and the network that is the Leadership Novato program.

All County Mixer

Each year in July Novato Chamber and other Marin County chambers of commerce will come together for an annual mixer. The decision is agreed upon by the Marin County Chambers' CEOs and while Novato has traditionally assumed a leadership role in the processing and reservation process, the event is 100% joint with the Marin County chambers.
