“We are happy to welcome Paul,” said Chamber Executive Director Gary Slate. “Membership is one of our biggest goals this year in the entire Eden Area, and I know Paul will help us quickly grow.”
Paul brings a lot of experience in marketing, website development, fundraising, social media strategy, and event execution. Through his activities with Smalltown Society, he provided opportunities for musicians, artists, actors, comedians and more in Castro Valley. He was part of First Presbyterian/s successful effort to save the Chabot Theater as a community resource.
