  • Representing Business to Government

    Chambers of Commerce were formed for the purpose of representing the interests of the business community and still serve that purpose today.  In fact, the closest private building to the white house is the office of the United States Chamber of Commerce.

    The Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce employs government affairs professionals who work year round representing the members of our Chamber to representatives of local, state and federal government.

     

  • "Our partnership with the Conejo Valley Chamber has been a key driver in Hyatt Regency Westlake’s ability to connect with local businesses, elevate our visibility, and contribute to the economic vitality of the region. Most recently, the Chamber has been instrumental in advocating for The Drop Yard—a new food truck park poised to bring fresh energy and vibrant visitor experiences to the area—further advancing our shared mission of regional economic development."

    - David McGovern, Director of Sales & Marketing, Hyatt Regency Westlake

  • What We Believe – Our Legislative Agenda

    Annually, the Board of Directors of the Greater Conejo Chamber of Commerce approve a Legislative Agenda.  It is a document that outlines the position of the Chamber on a wide variety of local, state and federal public policy issues.

  • Our Partners

    The Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce is not alone in its effort to represent business to government.  We are a part of coalitions of business organizations sending unified messages to our elected officials about the types of policies that make it easier to do business in our community.

    "When the Chamber recognized the need to provide advocacy for our business, they carefully questioned us on the details for our housing project, facilitated a presentation to members of their board, educated their members and encouraged the business community to make their opinions known during the public hearing at City Council. The Chamber was an instrumental partner in The Lakes project being approved in November of 2021 and we look forward to breaking ground by 2024."
