Do you know of a piece of local legislation that affects our business community? The Chamber highly encourages you to bring it to the table. The Public Policy Committee, which meets the second Wednesday of every month at 7:45am, continues to advocate for local business. Whether they be land use issues, economic issues, etc., the Chamber strives to work for its members and do what is in the best interest for our local business community.

 With the approval of projects such as the Equity Office Sepulveda beautification initiative and the AEG stadium and convention center, for example, it is exciting to see our efforts come to fruition!
