When your business needs help, who are you going to call?

When your business has an issue that you cannot solve on your own, who do you call?  Of course, it depends on the subject matter, but chances are, your Oxnard Chamber membership is a direct line for assistance and the appropriate resources.  Many companies join or renew their membership and forget to utilize the chamber benefits.  Some businesses use their membership to increase their sales of goods or services, or for networking, or to learn more about new business laws and regulations.  Nevertheless, having a business advocate organization working on your behalf can prove that your Oxnard Chamber membership provides a significant return on your investment.

The Oxnard Chamber Business Advocacy Committee (BAC) meets the second Monday of every month at noon at the Oxnard Chamber office.  Led by Oxnard Chamber board members Tom Cady and Stacy Miller, the committee meets on proposed legislation, local elections and measures, and other issues such as energy, transportation, land use and water.  The BAC is open and transparent and often has legislative aides in attendance, as well as the City and County representatives.

Once an agenda item has been vetted and voted on through the BAC, it is then forwarded to the full Oxnard Chamber Board of Directors as an “Action Item” at the next scheduled board meeting.  As chair of the board of directors I’m repeatedly impressed by those around the table who represent a myriad of industries in the Oxnard community and contribute to a thoughtful and methodical discussion on any particular item.

Additionally, it is not uncommon for Nancy Lindholm, President & CEO, and Oxnard Chamber board members to spend hours at a city council or county board of supervisors’ meeting on your behalf. Moreover, we’ve also taken several trips to Sacramento to express our positions on a variety of topics. There are residents and other organizations who have strong opinions on local issues, however advocating for a member in good standing and whose business benefits the community is a roll the Chamber is proud to take on.

It’s reassuring to know that the Oxnard Chamber is your business advocate.  Now, who are you going to call?
