I’m the founding Broker for CauseWell Insurance Services. Being an exhibitor at the 2024 Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce Business Expo was an experience I won’t soon forget! Held at City Center Drive at the Shoppes, the event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our vibrant business community and showcase what we do best. The energy was infectious, and as an exhibitor, I felt privileged to be part of such a dynamic gathering.
This year’s theme, “Western Flair,” was a fun twist that allowed us to get creative with our booth. We decorated with cowboy hats, wagon wheels, and a few other Western touches, hoping to catch the eyes of attendees and maybe even snag the prize for the best booth! The excitement of seeing everyone’s unique setups and engaging with visitors who stopped by was a highlight for us. It was all about standing out and connecting with the community, and I think everyone brought their A-game.
The event kicked off with a mixer on Thursday, October 17th, at Gozo Kitchen & Lounge on Riverside Drive. I joined other Chamber members, exhibitors, and guests for a night of great conversations and networking. It was a perfect way to warm up for the expo, giving us the chance to make connections in a relaxed setting. If you were there, you know how valuable that time was for building relationships that could turn into future business opportunities!
As an exhibitor, I saw first-hand the benefits of being part of the expo. We had the chance to put our brand in front of potential clients, partners, and industry professionals who were genuinely interested in what we offered. The exposure through the Chamber’s marketing efforts—social media, event materials, and more—really gave us a boost and helped us reach a wider audience than we would have otherwise. The day was filled with valuable conversations, new leads, and opportunities to engage with other local businesses.
The range of exhibitors was incredible, reflecting the diversity and strength of our local business community. From legal experts like Kizuwanda Walton, Attorney At Law, to health and wellness providers such as Enhanced Chiropractic, and even popular food spots like Yogurtland and 7 Leaves Cafe, the variety was impressive.

It was an honor to be among such a talented and diverse group of businesses. The event felt more like a celebration of our shared community spirit than just another business opportunity.

The Chamber truly pulled off a fantastic event that not only promoted business growth but also strengthened our sense of community. This is just one of may great events often held in the Chino Valley.
Looking back, I’m excited about what’s ahead for all of us. This year’s Business Expo was a success, and I can’t wait to see what next year has in store. If you didn’t get a chance to participate this time, I highly recommend making it a priority in the future—it’s a day full of opportunity and inspiration!
