CHAIRMAN’S FOCUS
By Connie Anderson,
Publisher of Napa
Valley and Contra Costa
Marketplace Magazines,
2005 Napa Chamber of
Commerce Chairman of
the Board
LOOKING BACK AT THE
YEAR; DID WE MEET
OUR GOALS?
As my incredible year as Chairman
of the Napa Chamber draws to a close, I
thought it important to look back at our
goals and see how we fared. Have we
been busy!
One of our board goals when I
started in January was to arrive at ways
to do significant marketing for the city
of Napa. By early spring, the Napa as
a Destination committee was formed.
Merchants and professionals got together
and brainstormed ways to attract locals
and visitors to our city.
After many meetings and hours of
work, I’m happy to say that we have
tangible results. First, we selected
the Traveler’s Channel to produce a
visitor channel and a Napa Chamber
of Commerce channel for local hotels.
Accompanied by Chamber staff, directors
and videographers taped businesses
and settings both in Napa and around
the valley. These tapes feature 19 local
businesses and now play continuously in
10 Napa hotels.
Another successful offshoot of this
committee is the Hometown Hosts
program, where locals are encouraged
to bring their professional or social
organization meetings to Napa, with
incentives for those booking the trips.
So far, after only a few months of
implementation, this program has booked
five groups into Napa who otherwise
would have attended meetings in other
cities. These groups benefit the economy
not only from the hotel’s TOT, but also
spend money in our shops and wineries.
This committee was also directly
responsible for working with the city
to streamline, define and reestablish a
film commission in Napa. This is a clean
industry that can add significant cash to
city coffers.
Another of our goals was the
formation of a 501(c)(3) foundation. We
have gone through the process, written
the by-laws and have had it reviewed
by our attorneys. By the end of 2005,
this foundation will be available as an
option for businesses to use to support the
Chamber and its activities. We hope this
will result in additional, larger beneficiary
amounts generated from our Golf
Tournament.
In 2005 the Chamber had another
first: the successful endorsement of
a mayoral candidate. The Chamber
continues its commitment to interviewing
and recommending candidates for public
office.
We have partnered with the Napa
Valley Economic Development
Corporation in several areas, most notably
REPRESENTING BUSINESS

Finally, we have brought together
interested parties to discuss transportation
issues and continue to support selfhelp initiatives for transportation
improvements as well as continuing to
focus on improving the safety of Jameson
Canyon.
continued from front page...
“Initiatives are part of the public process,
but they should be subject to discussion.
Of the initiatives filed, three-quarters
don’t get enough signatures (to be put on
the ballot) and of the quarter filed that do
qualify, only one-third succeed. There are
at least 50 in circulation now.”
His office also has a fraud investigation unit that investigates the initiative
process, specifically signature verification.
To answer a question about tracking
businesses that leave the state, McPherson said, “We know that 270,000 new
businesses come into the state per year,
which has gone up. We would only know
if a business left the state if they didn’t file
a tax return. Our office isn’t equipped or
responsible to track departing companies.”
Napa Mayor Jill Techel presented
McPherson with an information packet
about the Flood Control project. “We
need to keep our community safe, and our
(promised) state money is not coming,”
said Techel. “We’re $51 million short and
we’ve been waiting since 2003 for the
payment.”
Heather Stanton project manager of
the Flood Control District added, “There
are nine counties who have not received
a total of $85 million, so we’re working
together.”
Chairman elect Merritt Fink commented, “New Orleans had a lot of warnings
that were not heeded for flood control. We
have to get on top of it.”
“One of our
board goals
when I started
in January was
to arrive at ways
to do significant
marketing for the
city of Napa.”
Reaching all of these goals has taken
many people, hard work, cooperation and
patience. For me, it’s been an inspiring
and educational opportunity to help the
board turn ideas into actions. ■

AWARD WINNING
E-NEWSLETTER
“Pay now or pay more later,” Stanton said.
McPherson promised to review the
material and forward it to the appropriate
state legislator.
Techel enjoyed their interchange. “I
was pleased that the Secretary of State
came to Napa and was willing to spend
the time having conversations with local
leaders,” Techel said. “I found his update
on election reform and the time line very
interesting and challenging. I was motivated by his sharing that the registration
of voters from 18-24 was low statewide
and want to work with local groups to see
if we can engage these young potential
voters and get them registered.”
When asked what Chambers can do to
work with the Secretary of State’s office,
McPherson asked that we communicate.
“Please go to our web site (www.ss.ca.
gov) and give feedback. We want to know
how it can be a service to you.”
“We were gratified that the Secretary
of State made a special effort to visit with
the local business community though the
Napa Chamber,” said Kate King, President and CEO of the Napa Chamber. “His
visit gave us additional insight into the
workings of one of the busiest departments of the State.”
King stated that the Napa Chamber
actively recruits local, state and federal
lawmakers to meet with Chamber executives face-to-face to communicate the
needs of the business community. ■
