Message from the President

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Ambassadors and our staff, I am pleased to present the 2009 edition of the Milpitas Chamber of Commerce Directory. Residents, business owners and visitors will find this directory to be a valuable resource to the best of Milpitas. The Chamber is looking forward to another exciting year with excellent programs benefiting the community and our members.

Plans for the new year are underway to present many activities to involve our members and our community. Some of our most popular and widely attended events of the past years include:

• Celebrate Milpitas - Enjoy art, wine, music, and culture at this two day event in August.
• Monthly Mixers - Chamber members and business owners from around the bay connect for fun networking.
• Crab Feed - Attended by hundreds who love crab and the thrill of a silent auction.
• A Day with the Oakland A’s - A fun day at the park raising money for Milpitas Schools.
• Teachers’ Reception - A tradition to welcome and thank new and returning teachers in Milpitas.
• Chamber Golf Tournament - Back by popular demand, a great way to network and have fun in the sun.
