As part of our 25th anniversary celebration, the Sacramento Rainbow Chamber of Commerce proudly wrapped up our first-ever Health & Wellness Expo at the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Sacramento—and what a success it was. With 60 vendor booths, the Expo highlighted an incredible range of resources supporting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It was a powerful reminder of a core truth of our Chamber: when our community is well, our businesses thrive.

As we move through February, we are also honored to celebrate Black History Month—recognizing the immeasurable contributions of Black leaders, entrepreneurs, advocates, and artists within the LGBTQ+ community. Their resilience, innovation, and courage continue to shape our movement and strengthen our collective future, and we are grateful for the opportunity to uplift and honor that legacy this month and always.

With the days growing a little longer and the first hints of spring in the air, we now turn our attention to one of the most anticipated events of the year. I warmly invite you to join us on Wednesday, March 12, at the Hilton Arden West for the Business and Community Excellence Awards (BCEA)—a celebratory luncheon honoring the leaders and organizations whose work strengthens our region and uplifts our community.

Tickets, tables, and sponsorships are available, and we would be delighted to gather with you to celebrate excellence, impact, and 25 years of pride-driven leadership.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping make our Chamber—and our community—stronger every day.
