Patti Wulfestieg began her role for the North Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce in November 2021. She has an extensive background that helps her connect people with the best available resources to help with their success. Most recently, she worked for the National Notary Association traveling the U.S. teaching state notary law. She also trained and managed the Notary Hotline Team responsible for answering notarial law and business questions. In addition, she has managed projects such as “Leave No Child Behind” a safety and protection handbook developed for churches and church schools.
Patti recently learned how to quilt and is a board member for Quilting For Community, another Chamber of Commerce member. This pandemic has reinforced the importance of connecting with people and sharing available resources that better the community. Patti enjoys camping with her husband, Rick, spending time with her grandchildren, and being a pet parent to two 80 lbs dogs. She looks forward to working with all of you.
Being an Ambassador allows me to meet members and build deeper relationships. I also get to know the newer members better. It is a double win for the chamber and my company while building trust with the members.

Being an ambassador for the Chamber has given me great opportunities to welcome the new members at all events and teach them about networking and make sure they are comfortable walking into a room of strangers. I love meeting new people and this is a perfect opportunity to grow your own network of people.
