Mission Statement: “To play a critical and integral role in maintaining a healthy business environment, contributing to the economic growth of the city, and enhancing the city’s image.” Serving businesses and the community: The Chamber of Commerce, with a membership of some 500 leading businesses and citizens, serves primarily as the voice and unmatched marketing, promotional and resource center for the Arcadia business community. The Chamber also serves as the public relations arm of the City and the “front door” through which new visitors to Arcadia, both local and from around the world, are greeted with a warm welcome to our “Community of Homes.” The Chamber sponsors a variety of events, including monthly networking breakfasts and luncheons, a Community Connection forum, and two of the City’s biggest events of the year: Taste of Arcadia, held at the L.A. County Arboretum each September; and the Citizen of the Year & Board installation dinner each spring.
