VISION ADVOCACY LEADERSHIP

The Cerritos Regional Chamber of Commerce is a member-driven, non-profit association of business professionals and civic-minded residents committed to improving the business climate and quality of life in the Cerritos area. Founded in 1963, the Chamber is governed by a Board of Directors, which determines the polices and programs from year-to-year, while the professional staff, under the leadership of the Executive Director, implements these policies and programs. The Cerritos Regional Chamber provides support, resources, services, and opportunities for all existing and prospective businesses.

The Chamber's goal is to help create and sustain successful business ventures that will benefit the economic vitality of the entire Cerritos region. The Chamber strives to promote and enhance the commercial, professional, economic, educational, cultural and environmental well being of Cerritos through a myriad of programs and activities, which include top quality luncheon programs bringing timely information to members, events for powerful networking, educational programs to keep employers well prepared to meet the challenges from new legislation and a very competitive market place, publications with excellent advertising opportunities and quality/timely information, and a membership that is dynamic and growing.

The Cerritos Regional Chamber also plays a critical role in Economic Development activities, prioritizing Sustainable Business Development issues, primarily small business development, retention, recruitment, and growth.
