The Santa Maria Valley Chamber helps the business community prosper. We are a catalyst for business growth, a convener of leaders and influencers, and a champion for a stronger Santa Maria Valley. We achieve this purpose through valuable business services, deep and relevant connections, business learning opportunities, and influence on economic and public policies. The Chamber brings a unique perspective and lens to our work. Because we operate the Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Commission, and Visitor Bureau/Tourism Marketing District, we can bring to bear a full spectrum of tools and services to truly make a difference in the lives of businesses and individuals throughout our city and valley. The Chamber brings leadership to the process of creating a community where business thrives. Partnering with employers and community partners, we work to create a “culture of commerce.” Chamber programs are built around the core principles of: Creating a strong local economy Promoting the community Providing networking opportunities Representing the interests of business with government
