Welcome
Program
WELCOME & CALL TO ORDER
Thank you for joining us at the 127th Annual Napa Chamber of
Commerce Meeting and Awards Luncheon. I’m honored to serve as
the new Chair of the Board of Directors, and look forward to serving
Napa’s business community in the year to come.
Congratulations to today’s honorees and all of the nominees. Your
dedication and service to our community is inspiration that we can
all do more. The Chamber is very proud of the diversity of this
year’s group, which serves as a direct reflection of our growing
membership and the Napa business community.
We are at a watershed moment in Napa’s economy, and there is
no more important time to be a Chamber member. We have a
number of big challenges ahead of us: housing for Napans and
our workforce, and helping to find resolutions to ease our traffic
problems are probably near the top of that list but there are
many others. We must work together to tackle these, and other
issues, while sustaining and improving our delicate economy,
protecting the beautiful environment in which we live and work, and
doing so without increasing the costs of doing business here.
I encourage all of you to connect, engage and collaborate with us
to advance Napa and ensure our future as the great community
we all love.

Special Thanks
Lois Wolk
The Napa Chamber of Commerce would like to give a special
thank you to Senator Lois Wolk for her dedicated years
of service.
During her many years of public service, Wolk has earned a
reputation as a problem solver by successfully tackling
difficult issue areas, including water, transportation, elder
abuse, health, political reform and flood management.
Wolk has authored over 100 new laws over her
12 years serving in the State Legislature.
Elected to the State Senate in 2008, Senator Wolk represents
the Third Senate District, which includes all of Napa and
Solano Counties, most of Yolo County, several cities in
Sonoma and Contra Costa Counties, and a portion of
Sacramento County.
Numerous organizations have honored Wolk for her
public service. The California Journal awarded Wolk
the “Golden Pedigree” for her integrity, trustworthiness
and personal ethics. Wolk has also been honored for
her leadership in water policy and flood management
and for her work to improve safety conditions on State
Highway Route 12; prevent elder abuse; and support
preservation of parks, recreation, open space and
conservation.
