The Chamber aims to develop well informed, empowered advocates that contribute to the growth, prosperity, and sustainability of our city and region. This is achieved by carefully identifying, analyzing, and influencing issues at a local, state, and federal level.

    Through strong relationships with elected officials, strategic partnerships, and ongoing engagement with our members, the Chamber works to ensure the voice of Pasadena’s business community is heard where important decisions are being made. We also provide members with timely policy updates, advocacy resources, and opportunities to engage directly in the issues shaping the future of business in Pasadena and our region.
