2024 BCOC DIRECTORS

 Director Spotlight - Katie Brandt 

My name is Katie Brandt, I was born and raised in East Contra Costa County and raised with parents who were always involved in Brentwood's community. I went to schools locally and ultimately graduated from Chico State with a Business Administration Degree. While in Chico I was involved in extracurricular clubs and organizations. I was a member of SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management), Chico State Ballroom Dance Club and Alpha Chi Sorority. I learned a lot in college and apply it at my family’s car dealership day to day. My love for our community has only grown stronger over the years, I always knew one day I wanted to do more for the Brentwood Community. I am honored to have the opportunity to positively impact Brentwood as both a Chamber of Commerce member, Director and now Chairperson for the 5th Annual East Bay Business Expo and Job Fair.
2024 BCOC AMBASSADORS

 Ambassador Spotlight - Isaiah Owens  

Introducing myself as Isaiah Owens, I am one of the co-owners of Prestige Cleaning Services. Our company, which is family-run, specializes in providing top-notch commercial and residential cleaning services. Serving clients throughout East Contra Costa County, we take great pride in our work. Notably, Prestige Cleaning Services has been honored with the prestigious Best of Brentwood award for two consecutive years.

While our business has been flourishing for approximately three years, I also devote my time to contributing to the Brentwood community. Collaborating with the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce, I actively participate in various community events. Moreover, during weekends, I am a volunteer at the dining room of Loaves and Fishes.

This year, I am excited to take on the role of ambassador and extend my support to the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce for the betterment of our community.
