The board positions are voted on once a year, in December, and anyone interested in serving the local community is welcome to participate! In the meantime, why not join us at one of our monthly board meetings? They are held on the last Wednesday of each month beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Humboldt Land Company office, 39008 HWY 299, Willow Creek. Everyone is welcome to attend, and we encourage your input as we strive to make positive changes for our community.

Tangie Markle, President Willow Creek Chamber of Commerce

Tangie Markle, Secretary

Being born and raised in Humboldt County, I developed a sense of community and eagerness to support our local community. The best way I know to do that is to be part of the Chamber of Commerce and have served as either Board President or Board member since 2008. As Broker and Owner of Humboldt Land Company Real Estate I feel even more driven to help our community thrive by being a part of the Willow Creek Chamber of Commerce.
