Coalinga Chamber of Commerce
Vision • Leadership • Opportunity
Hello fellow business owners. I would like to introduce myself. I am Scott Netherton and I am the owner of Reel Time Entertainment, the Movie Cinema here in Coalinga. I am also very proud to have recently been selected to be the new Executive Director for your Coalinga Area Chamber of Commerce.
Being a business owner myself, I understand how devastating 2020 and this pandemic has and continues to be for almost all our local businesses. At the Chamber, we are dedicated to being Champions for our business partners and we want you to know that we are here to support, promote and assist any way possible to ensure that our members have access to the information and assistance needed to once again become the leaders and driving force behind this community. We are the heartbeat of Coalinga. And our beat has never been stronger.
We are currently working on a membership drive and recreating a list of all past, present and hopefully future Chamber Partners. Understanding the financial hardship you have been through, we have reduced our membership rate for the balance of 2021 to hopefully be at a price that is affordable and enables your business to become a member.
If you are uncertain exactly what the Chamber of Commerce is about, I hope you will take a moment and read the attached information that will explain how becoming a member can not only benefit your business, but also the Community. As a Chamber Partner, we become a team, committed to the success of our local businesses and to providing incredible events and activities for the people and community we serve.
I am honored to be the new Director, and I sincerely hope that you will consider becoming a proud member of the Coalinga Chamber of Commerce.
