Chamber recognizes top businesses contributors

By Kevin Cabral 5 years ago

Last month, the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce hosted a luncheon welcoming our new mayor, Tim McGallian.

It was a sold-out event with wonderful accommodations and food provided by the Concord Hilton and audio visual by Digital AVS, which set the stage for an excellent presentation.

McGallian talked about Concord’s growth, touching on a variety of topics such as the budget, housing and new business opportunities coming into Concord – including a brewery. Read his column in From the Desk of on Page 6, or check out the video at cityofconcord.org.

The chamber also celebrated and recognized our 2019 Chairman’s Circle Sponsors. Without the support from these business partners, the chamber could not provide the level of service that we do. We appreciate these businesses for their participation and ongoing support for the Concord community.
Sponsors include:

Platinum level:

    • John Muir Health, Marathon Petroleum Co., Visit Concord.

Gold level:

    • Chevron, Clarion Hotel, FivePoint, Mechanics Bank, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery, PG&E, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Stonebrook Healthcare Center, Wave.

If you or your company is looking to find out more about the commitment needed to become part of the Chairman’s Circle, please give me a call.

This month, we once again will be supporting BEST Day, now in its 22nd year. BEST (Business & Educators Shadowing for Tomorrow) Day is a joint effort of the Concord Chamber of Commerce, John Muir Health, OPUS LEEDS (Linking Education & Economic Development Strategies) and Mt. Diablo Unified School District to provide opportunities for elementary, middle and high school teachers to shadow one of nearly two dozen business leaders and experts in a wide variety of fields. It pairs teachers with local technology, finance, retail, health and other industries, allowing them to learn from industry partners what skills their students will need to compete, contribute and succeed.
