SPECIAL EVENTS

THE CHINO VALLEY AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (CVACC) HAS A LONG, RICH HISTORY OF COMMUNITY SERVICE, NOT ONLY BY ASSISTING AND PROMOTING OUR LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY, BUT BY ASSISTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CIVIC AND BUSINESS LEADERS.

MAGGIE TIDABACK

Economic Development Project Manager

The partnership and cooperation between the local Chamber and the Chino Valley Unified School District include many thousands of dollars in grants and scholarships awarded to our Cougar family, as well as connecting local students and educators with many area and national service organizations to assist in the cost of education and funding of various academic, artistic, and athletic pursuits throughout the district.

In recent years, with the launch of our YouTube Channel and the Chino Valley Update Podcast, we have utilized these tools to help promote many community and CVUSD events and programs, including the Superintendent Update Podcast and the recent CVUSD Governing Board Candidate Forum. These outlets, along with our other social media platforms and our weekly Talk of the Town program on KQNA, the Talk Radio/News station of the Arizona’s Hometown Radio Group family of stations, provide a much larger outreach for local events and organizations.

“We have been able to use our podcast and social media pages to really shine a light on our local businesses in a way that many business owners don’t have the resources or time to do on their own,” said Lorette Brashear, President and CEO of the CVACC. “Giving these businesses, specifically the smaller, independently owned companies, professionally produced, broadcast quality commercials and podcasts has proven extremely valuable to our Chamber members, and also local businesses that have not yet joined the Chamber.”

The CVACC provides both audio and video produced segments free of charge to members, and to non-members at a very reasonable cost.
