We look out for you so you can get on with business.
From grassroots and lobbying to political action committees, we're working to make California a better place to live, work and do business. Last year alone, we defeated new tax initiatives, helped improve state infrastructure, battled rising health care costs and fought lawsuit abuse.Our goal is three-fold: to promote California businesses, protect our private sector from excessive government mandates, and prepare the state for a prosperous future.

Grassroots
Through our Local Chamber Advisory Council, we work with local groups and business leaders to provide a network of advocacy on behalf of California business and to gain valuable insight into the issues; and sometimes a specific issue demands action through our coalitions.
