Leadership Calendar

Thanks to the dedication of the Leadership Novato Advisory Committe, the Novato Chamber's Leadership Novato Program remains the North Bay's premier civic leadership program. Throughout the year, the LNAC works to provide a strong, challenging, and dynamic experience to the students. The LNAC meets regularly and is incorporated into the Leadership Novato Curriculum itself! Students from the various "teams" report to the LNAC and receive help and support on their community project. This experience is invaluable for students who may seek positions on future commissions, boards, or nonprofits. During the off season, the LNAC works on recruitment, class curriculum, volunteer coordination, and more. If you have any interest in working with the LNAC, please contact Kim Stahley, Director of People and Programs.

Noontime Networking

Join the Novato Chamber for the monthly Noontime Networking where businesses and topics collide. Learn about the local economy and opportunties to grow your business over an intimate lunch-hour with fellow leaders and growth-minded individuals.
