We had an incredible time last week at our Business After Hours Mixer, hosted by the Concord Police Department! The CPD team gave us the inside scoop on what’s happening in the community, a behind-the-scenes tour, and even showed off their awesome drones (infrared shots included!). Big thanks to everyone who came out - and a special shout out to the Concord PD for an epic event!

We were thrilled to be part of the Corporate & Community Partner Recognition Social at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano! It was inspiring to see the incredible work they do for our community and beyond. A big thank you to the Food Bank for including the Concord Chamber in such a meaningful event!

Oh Hey, it’s Kevin! This week, Kevin made a stop at the Concord Moose Lodge #567. The Concord Moose is an incredible organization that gives back to the community through countless events and charity drives all year long. Big kudos to the amazing folks - Kevin included - who make it all happen at the Moose Lodge!

Oh hey, it’s Kevin! This week, Kevin swung by Skipolini’s in downtown Concord on his way to work. If you know, you know - Skips is the spot! With plenty of parking right behind, it’s super close to the downtown square and right across from the theater. Next time you’re in the area, stop by and tell them Kevin sent you!

We had an amazing time today at the Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of Chick-fil-A in Concord! We got a behind-the-scenes tour of their brand-new building and impressive kitchen that serves up all those delicious eats. We're excited to see the buzz and business this will bring to our community!

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on 9/11, the bravery of first responders, and the resilience of our nation. Let’s take a moment to reflect and show gratitude for the heroes who selflessly stepped up in the face of tragedy. We stand united in remembrance.
