"Keep Cheer Here"
campaign, ushering in the 2023 Small Business Season.

Now, more than ever, the importance of supporting our local economy and the businesses that form the heartbeat of our community and region cannot be overstated. These businesses are not just the backbone of our economy; they are the essence of our community, contributing significantly to what makes our region special.

Let's rally together to show our support, ensuring that the cheer and prosperity we cherish remains right here, at home, where it belongs.

Past Event Highlights
Career Readiness
A big shoutout to College of the Redwoods for opening their doors to our business leaders, Lisa of Humboldt Grain Girls, Megan of Sea Goat Farmstand and Shelley from Express Employment Professionals of Eureka, CA.
They recently had an opportunity to connect with a class of students in the Business department.
Sharing insights, experiences, and knowledge is an essential part of nurturing the next generation of leaders, and we're thrilled to have been a part of this educational exchange.
Thank you College of the Redwoods and Jim Ritter for fostering these connections and supporting the growth of future professionals.

The insightful presentations and engaging discussions highlighted the importance of innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity in shaping a brighter future for our students. We are grateful to all the speakers, and attendees who contributed to the success of the event and look forward to continuing the conversation to take active steps in increasing collaborations between education and the business community.

Huge thank you to Vacasa and the homeowners of Mermaid Cove for hosting the September Mixer at one of the most beautiful locations we've ever had a mixer.
