2016 Corporate Sponsors,   Board of Directors and Staff
LVCC could not deliver the programs and services to members and to the community were it not for our valued sponsors.  We've had the privilege of having a number of corporate sponsors that made major commitments to this organization for 2016 and many more that sponsored individual events throughout the year. We deeply appreciate your support and have enjoyed working with you to strengthen the reputation of LVCC and its members.  We look forward to 2017 and welcome your continued support.  If you are not currently a corporate sponsor, we invite you to consider supporting LVCC in the coming year.  Contact our team to learn how your company can take its support of LVCC to the "next level".

T hank you, Pinot's Palette, for hosting our October mixer. We also celebrated their grand opening with a ribbon cutting, while watching their guest artist create the beautiful painting (see below) as a gift  to the Chamber.  Pinot's Palette is the upscale destination in Livermore where you can "Paint. Drink. Have Fun." Have fun being creative - no art experience required! In two or three hours you can create a festive, whimsical and colorful painting while sipping on your beer or wine. They can help you celebrate a fun night out, a special date night, birthdays, bachelorette parties, anniversaries and corporate events!
