Your Chamber has set in motion a new vision for the next century. Our Strategic Plan, encompassed in “Beyond the Horizon…Vision 2010”, encompasses  primary operating divisions and specific points of progress for local small, minority and women owned businesses in Southern California.

Access to Capital to start, grow and expand business.

Workforce Preparedness in developing employees with a solid work ethic.

Advocacy at the local, state and national level on key issues that effect small, minority and women owned businesses.
