The challenges of doing business today are more prevalent than ever before.  Extraordinary technological innovations are announced on a daily basis. 
 
But the face of business is not changing.  You, your clients and customers, and your employees are still the most valuable assets of operating your business. 
 
Face-to-face contact with your business partners and customers, networking with peers, developing relationships, and supporting those with whom you do business is what doing business is all about... whether you employ five, or five thousand. 
 
The Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce and Convention-Visitors Bureau is here to support you... offering business advocacy in the political arena; putting your business out in front of the public through networking opportunities, special events, on the web, and in print; and presenting educational opportunities to help you grow a successful business. 
 
I invite you to use our website as your tool for conducting business in Santa Clara and Silicon Valley.  Besides offering information and resources about the Chamber, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Convention Center and your community, you can do business with Chamber members listed in our online directory. 
 
I also encourage you to get involved with your Chamber.  There are several active committees that meet on a regular basis.  You will find them on our calendar of events. 

As you prepare to explore the many business growth opportunities of our Chamber, we would like to hear from you.  What can we do to assist you in “giving your business the power to grow”?        
 
Our mission is to serve as your business and community advocate and work to keep Santa Clara a great place where business can prosper and families can live, work, play, learn and shop.
