Jennifer LeBrett Leaves Chamber


It is with regret that we announce that Jennifer LeBrett is leaving the Healdsburg Chamber to take a position as Development Director for a newly created foundation in Sebastopol.  Jennifer has been the Director of Business Development and Member Services for the Chamber for the past three years.  During her tenure, Jennifer  worked as part of the Economic Development team with the City of Healdsburg, as well as with Sonoma County BEST.  She also successfully facilitated the needs of chamber members and developed the Premier Member category.  Jennifer will continue with the chamber as a part time consultant for the establishment of a newly formed hospitality alliance.  Executive Director Carla Howell will be taking over economic development duties, and Aleena Decker will take on the role of membership coordinator.
Thank You To Our Businesses

 

Thank you for participating in the 2nd Annual Healdsburg Business Showcase and Community Resource Fair.  Over seventy businesses participated, a great showing of the incredible diversity of services available locally.  Judging from the size of the crowd, we think our businesses were given a lot of great exposure, and we  heard a lot of positive comments from both participants and attendees.  Please plan on attending again next year...maybe it won't be quite so hot!
