Golf Tournament
It's time to tee up for the 2020 Business Classic Golf Tournament presented by Columbia REA on Thursday, August 13 at Wine Valley Golf Club. The club's stunning Dan Hixson design unfolds on a grand scale, playing over rolling hills in the shadow of the Blue Mountains. Each hole affords multiple lines of play, ensuring a pleasant round for every golfer and a true challenge for those who seek it.
Event Format
The Tournament is a four-player scramble (each player plays their ball from the position of the ball of their choice) with team awards for low gross and low net plus numerous other prizes. Proper golf attire required to play. Tee-times will be held from 11:00 a.m.-3:50 p.m. with 10 minute intervals. Tee-times will be assigned prior to the tournament.
Entry fee is $125 per player or $500 for a foursome and includes green fee, cart, boxed lunch. There will be contests in the morning and throughout the day, including a putting contest, closest to the pin, and hole-in-one. Players will be provided a "swag bag" upon check-in with items needed for the tournament.
Online Auction
This year, we will be running an online auction where players can bid on items prior to the Business Classic Golf Tournament. The bidding will end the day of the tournament at 5:00 p.m. You do not have to be at the tournament in order to win the auction items - whoever has the winning bid - whether present at the tournament or not - will win the item. There will be a "pick up station" available the day of the tournament for easy transport for players.

Business After Hours
Women in Business
Women in Business is a new initiative from the Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce established for women in business who wish to build a strong network of women intent on inspiring one another to achieve individual potental; support each other in business endeavors; and create a legacy through mentorship.
This quarterly lunch meeting series provides dynamic speakers along with a networking platform that inspires, educates, and empowers women to grow and succeed in business and leadership. We believe that we are stronger together, and that we can create significant change for ourselves, our workplace, and our community when we connect with other women‐in‐business, at all levels of our careers. Join us!
Ribbon Cuttings
Thank you for your interest in having the Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce participate in your Ribbon Cutting. We want you to have a wonderful and successful experience so here are a few guidelines and suggestions we hope will help you plan for the event.
Who can schedule a ribbon cutting?
Any Chamber member in good standing may schedule a ribbon cutting. This ceremonial event is often used when a business has:
- Recently opened
- Moved to a new location
- Has been remodeled or has expanded its current location
- Is celebrating a milestone anniversary
- Is under new ownership/management
Holiday and weekend ribbon cuttings have low attendance from the business community and chamber staff may not be available. We have found that the best time to schedule your ribbon cutting is Monday-Friday. Since Chamber ribbon cuttings are business to business events, we do not recommend you schedule your event on a weekend. Business members are best available at the end of the work day (4:00pm – 5:30pm). Additionally, the Chamber will not schedule the same day as other ribbon cuttings. The Chamber cannot guarantee the number of guests in attendance.
