Santee Chamber Weekly Update 08JAN26

Hello Santee!

Happy New Year from the Santee Chamber! We are excited for the year ahead and already off to a busy start.

We kicked off 2026 with our Women in Business event on Monday, January 5th, welcoming well over 50 attendees. In partnership with SDECCC, SBDC, and the East County Economic Development Council, the Women in Business program blends networking with a featured speaker focused on topics important to business owners, such as grant writing, marketing, and business development. Our January speaker, Diana Barbiani, owner of the Rep Academy, shared nearly 20 years of experience in wholesale, retail, and procurement, offering valuable insight to those in attendance.

We also hosted our Morning Buzz networking event at Coffee Corner on Town Center Parkway yesterday and had a fantastic turnout. It was wonderful to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new business owners in our community!

Whether you attend Women in Business on the first Monday or Morning Buzz on the first Wednesday of each month, there is a place for you at the Santee Chamber. We look forward to the year ahead and hope to see you soon!
