Chamber Programs
One of the great benefits of being a Chamber member is having access to an array of events and programs throughout the year that are informative, fun, and foster connection with others in the business community. Explore what we offer below and keep an eye on our events calendar throughout the year.
Annual Awards Gala
Each year in January, we celebrate some of our region’s most inspiring leaders through our Annual Awards Gala. Member businesses select nominees and the winners are honored on stage in an elegant ceremony, followed by a live auction and vibrant after-party. This event is the Chamber’s biggest fundraiser of the year and helps further our work to serve the Greater Eureka business community.

Annual Membership Meeting
Held the first month of each new year, this member-exclusive virtual meeting is an opportunity to review the Chamber’s work over the past 12 months alongside the Chamber CEO, the outgoing Board Chair, and the incoming Board Chair. This is a great chance to stay up-to-date on the latest Chamber activities and learn more about what the Chamber has planned for the upcoming year.
Mixers
Held on the third Thursday of each month, Chamber mixers provide members a fantastic opportunity to network with other professionals and expand business connections. We encourage all members to attend and take advantage of this valuable resource. Each mixer offers a variety of delicious food options and exciting prizes during the evening. Chamber members have the opportunity to host mixers throughout the year. For a list of our upcoming mixers, visit our Events Calendar.
Summer Fun Family Mixer
This popular summer event, offered to Chamber members, their employees, and their immediate family members, features outdoor activities fun for both children and adults alike. Expect great local food, live music and much much more. The 2024 event will be held on July 18, hosted by The Acres.
Economic Forecast
Learn about what’s ahead for our local, regional, and state economy with the Chamber’s Economic Forecast. This important regional update will be held in partnership with local government and business leaders on October 9, 2024.
Conversations with Leaders
Conversations with Leaders is a bi-monthly virtual event exclusively for members of the Greater Eureka Chamber, offering insights on critical issues and opportunities affecting our community and our region – straight from the leaders responsible for them. Some past topics include transportation, healthcare, housing, cannabis, business safety and offshore wind.
Advocacy
Our Chamber advocates on behalf of our members to ensure business and nonprofit voices are represented at the local, state and national levels. Chamber leadership meets regularly with local government officials to address concerns about economic development, business safety, infrastructure, workforce development, and more. Our positions are informed by conversations with key stakeholders and recommendations by our Government Affairs, Business and Industry and Business and Education Committees. All formal positions require approval by our Board of Directors.
Ribbon Cuttings
Our ribbon cutting service is the perfect way to showcase your business to the community, and celebrate your grand opening or expansion. As a member of the Greater Eureka Chamber of Commerce, you have access to this exclusive benefit, which includes a ceremony with community leaders, a traditional red ribbon, giant scissors and photo opportunities. The Chamber will promote your ribbon cutting on social media both before and after the event.
