Last call for this week's Knowledge & Networking Lunch
It's your last chance to join us this Thursday, July 11, to learn from Ventura County District Attorney Investigator Kimo Hildreth, a member of the FBI Cyber Crimes Task Force, at our next Knowledge & Networking Lunch. Businesses large and small are being scammed by sophisticated cyber criminals  – and often forced to close as a result. Learn about the latest cyber attack trends and how to protect your business and customers. 

Summer is a great time to mentor

Could you carve one hour per month out of your schedule to positively impact an Oxnard student's future? If so, Chamber CEO Nancy Lindholm says Upward Bound at Channel Islands High School is the perfect program for you.
