Mission Statement: The Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce enhances the business environment and quality of life in the Livermore Valley through innovation, leadership, visionary programs and powerful connections
.
What's New for 2017?  Committees
The LVCC Team has been busy planning and reviewing programs and services for 2017.  This includes LVCC core committee organizations consisting of the Economic Development/Government Affairs Committee which is being combined with the Hispanic Business Council and the Education Committee and will now be referred to as the  LVCC Business Alliance .  We believe this change best reflects the wide range of stakeholders that regularly attend this meeting bringing perspectives from all sectors of the LVCC membership including small and large business; government; and non-profits - representing science, high- and low-tech; finance, retail, hospitality, education, and a range of government entities, to name a few.  This group will hear about and consider issues that affect the economic health of business including housing, infrastructure (transportation, water, energy, broadband, etc.), education, and legislation.  The  LVCC Business Alliance meetings are open to all LVCC members and meets the first Wednesday morning of the month. 
 
The Ambassador Task Force Committee will now be referred to as the LVCC Ambassador Club.  (Everyone will want to be in this club!).  This is the outreach and marketing arm of the LVCC membership.  Ambassadors connect with new, prospective and current members at LVCC activities to introduce them to the opportunities of being a member while promoting the businesses they represent.  If you are a long-time member of LVCC, think about this as a career development opportunity for employees coming up in your organization.  It exposes them to other businesses and community assets while promoting your own business.  The LVCC Ambassador Club meets on the second Tuesday of the month.  Check the LVCC website event calendar - livermorechamber.org, to confirm dates for the Business Alliance and Ambassador Club meetings.   
Renew, Refresh, Re-Calibrate with SCORE
Maybe your Business Plan is due for a review and update.  After all, the   reason you go into business is to be sustainable for the   lon g-term, or perhaps you want to enhance and expand   your business and take it to the   "next level".  If so, schedule a visit with a SCORE counselor.  SCORE is a resource partner with the US Small Business Administration providing consultation, at no charge, to small businesses including access to funding and other resources.  SCORE counselors schedule consultations at the LVCC offices twice monthly.  Contact the LVCC team at 925-447-1606 to schedule your appointment.

2016 Corporate Sponsors,   Board of Directors and Staff
LVCC could not deliver the programs and services to members and to the community were it not for our valued sponsors.  We've had the privilege of having a number of corporate sponsors that made major commitments to this organization for 2016 and many more that sponsored individual events throughout the year. We deeply appreciate your support and have enjoyed working with you to strengthen the reputation of LVCC and its members.  We look forward to 2017 and welcome your continued support.  If you are not currently a corporate sponsor, we invite you to consider supporting LVCC in the coming year.  Contact our team to learn how your company can take its support of LVCC to the "next level".
