A Catalyst for Business GrowthWhen you join the Chamber, the doors open to an array of promotional, networking and educational opportunities – all designed to help grow your business or organization.
We can help expose your business to thousands of potential new customers. Our website, weekly newsletter, blog, social media, online business directory, annual Business and Community Guide, restaurant guide, and Dallas Cowboys Training Camp souvenir program are all valuable sources for promoting your business or organization. We answer hundreds of inquiries every month regarding business, tourism and relocation, and we only refer member companies. Our events will help grow your network and can bring attention to your business: become a sponsor, host a happy hour, lead a seminar, or donate a raffle item or door prize. If you’re a brand-new or recently opened business, let us help mark the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony or grand opening celebration. We even help businesses get work done through conference room rentals and providing certificates of origin. |

When you join the Chamber, you’re instantly part of an outstanding business community with 500 members representing more than 30,000 employees.
We provide numerous opportunities for the business community and government officials to come together, including the Mayor’s annual State of the City address, and our Business Visits program connects local government with the business community. Every year, our Business Outlook luncheon welcomes well-known speakers who address the current business and economic opportunities, challenges and trends. Our committees enable leaders to get more involved in the community, and meet like-minded people with common interests and business priorities. We help ensure a bright future for the city through OXYP – Oxnard Young Professionals – and the Oxnard Leadership program. Both offerings empower, educate and connect the next generation of leaders. |

A Champion for a Stronger CommunityWhen you join the Chamber, you show your commitment to our community.
We value the quality of life in the Oxnard community and encourage economic vitality. We keep our eyes and ears on Oxnard City Council meetings, and in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., and personally meet with elected officials, which allows our members to focus on their businesses knowing that we are advocating for them. We consider advocacy for our members a top priority. Our Business Advocacy Committee is committed to scrutinizing issues affecting business on the local, state and federal levels, and our Political Action Committee seeks out, evaluates qualifications of, and endorses candidates for public office who support the ideals of our free enterprise system. Every year, we honor local heroes and leaders who make Oxnard an outstanding place to live, work or do business in through our annual Military Appreciation Dinner and Community & Business Awards. |

The Oxnard Chamber of Commerce puts forth a great deal of effort to stand up for business on the federal, state and local levels. As an employer with more than 300 employees, labor law changes can be critical to the services Goodwill Industries can provide to the community. I have been fortunate to serve on the Chamber’s Board of Directors and the Business Advocacy Committee for many years where I can see, first hand, how strong of an advocate the Chamber is for its members.
