The Chamber’s Monthly Breakfast Meeting is a deal at only $15 (advance payment). Not only do you get a great breakfast, you’ll have lots of opportunities to hand out your business card – or place it on the Networking table. At this meeting, you’ll hear the latest announcements and we usually have a guest speaker to fill you in on topics that are important to you as a member of the Lincoln business community. We introduce new members, and frequently we incorporate a fun networking exercise designed to help you break the ice with a person you don’t know.

How We Work To Create a Strong Local Economy Link

WE DON’T JUST WANT OUR MEMBERS TO BE SUCCESSFUL, WE DEPEND ON IT!
Who wouldn’t want to live and work where the economy is thriving? When our members are doing well, so are we, and that’s why a top priority is ensuring that our local economy is strong.

REPRESENT LOCAL BUSINESS INTERESTS
We represent local business with the City’s Economic Development Council, and continually look for ways in which we can positively impact business and the economy in the Lincoln area.

How We Promote Our Community, and You! Link
THE LINCOLN AREA COMMUNITY
Even though the face of the Lincoln community is ever-changing we are proud that again, our members told us in our most recent survey that they feel the Lincoln Chamber does a great job of promoting our community. And we plan to continue doing a great job! You become a beneficiary of community promotion activities because you are part of the Lincoln business community.

COMMUNITY EVENTS
Most people like to have fun, and let’s face it...community events are supposed to be fun! The Lincoln Area Chamber helps put that fun together with our 4th of July Parade, Holiday Parade, Shopper’s Festival, Showcase of food & Spirits, just to name a few. Whether you’re an event volunteer, or a participant, you benefit by expanding your potential business network through the people you meet and associations you form. All while having fun!

LINCOLN ALL AMERICA CITY BID
When the City of Lincoln decided to compete for the coveted National Civic League’s All America City Award in 2005, the Chamber was heavily involved in the application process and preparations for the final presentation in Atlanta. Lincoln didn’t win but was among the finalists...Maybe next year?

How We Talk to Government For Business Link

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Through the Chamber’s Government Relations Committee, we represent local business with City, County, State, and Federal government entities. One example is participation in the annual Chamber Capitol-to-Capitol trip to Washington D.C. where, in 2005, the South Placer region was represented by nearly 100 delegates to talk to legislators on water, air, and transportation issues.

REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF BUSINESS WITH GOVERNMENT
We take a position on issues and represent local business with the City of Lincoln, Placer County and other government agencies. We continually look for ways in which we can positively impact the Lincoln area business community.
