As Evan Stanford, Executive Director of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce, steps to the podium for the monthly RISE AND SHINE, the room becomes electric and transformational. Ever since 1893, Redlands has had an active Chamber of Commerce, ever creating the healthy growth of Redlands as well as a dynamic community.
What began as a citrus hub has now grown in such a way that, at a typical Chamber of Commerce meeting, there are over 200 community leaders. Debi Menard, as well as a host of Redlands change agents, creates dynamic Redlands Chamber of Commerce meetings as well as amazing community events.
That is why the Redlands Chamber of Commerce received the First Place Award for being the most outstanding Chamber of Commerce in the entire state of California. The next event occurs New Year’s Eve in downtown Redlands and creates a HUGE ORANGE DROP at the same time that the Crystal Ball drops in New York City. You are welcome to come and experience this event with thousands of others.
