The Hermosa Beach
Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau gives businesses access to
powerful local resources. It's what we do... from offering
networking events, promotional opportunities and publicity for
your business, and to supporting businesses through legislative
advocacy and activities.
We believe all sizes and kinds of businesses can benefit from
membership; here are just a few of the member benefits we offer: |

Local Business Contacts: The Chamber of Commerce can
put you in touch with contacts that could become new clients and
customers. |
| Mixers:
Our monthly mixers are a perfect venue for providing
"business-to-business" networking opportunities to
establish new relationships and business contacts. Each month a
Chamber member hosts an open house at their business, inviting
attendees to a first-hand view of their facilities and products or
services. |

Luncheons
and Annual Events: Luncheons and events held throughout
the year, such as the monthly mixers and Board of Directors
meetings, Installation Luncheon, Longtime Residents Luncheon,
Volunteer Appreciation Day, Man and Woman of the Year Awards, the

Luncheon events bring members together for both business and
pleasure. These events are a great way to meet, great and work
with the business owners in our community. |
