Testimonials

"As a 25-year member of the chamber I always knew this organization to be the single voice of the business community, but like any owner of a business, I left the business of advocacy to them. As recently as 4 years ago I made the call to the office to see if there was some way to become more involved.
Not surprisingly, as a result of this phone call I became involved quickly. Gen. Keith and many other participants offered the info and the tools to assist my business in ways I’d not considered. For my local business this means advocacy, education, assistance and, forget the big words, MORE BUSINESS! The contacts, the friends, the networking info and the knowledge gained regarding how to successfully operate and thrive in this community are huge incentives.
I live, work, own a home and generally patronize other West Hollywood businesses. For this I’m privileged. However, a business or individual doesn’t need to live in or operate under a city license to be a member of the chamber. I have discovered that any time spent participating with the chamber is returned trifold, I’ve seen a growth in my business that I can attribute to being an active member. I’ve met many city staff members and have learned that these contacts are very important to business owners and operators, it means we have a collective voice."

Despite the number of powerhouse members, however, the Chamber's intimate size allows its members to become known within the West Hollywood community, and to call this vibrant section of Los Angeles their 'neighborhood'."
