Chamber News and Events

Message to our Anaheim Chamber Members

We at the Chamber are shocked by the public allegations about former President and CEO Todd Ament, who separated from the Chamber last year. We feel deeply saddened and angered by these disturbing allegations. The Chamber as an organization has no involvement in the reported allegation of wrongdoing and we will cooperate with any law enforcement inquiries.   The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has been the leading business organization in the City of Anaheim for more than 125 years and we will continue to serve our members and the greater Anaheim business community.

The Anaheim Chamber Celebrated the Expansion of a veteran-owned Anaheim Business - Veteran Air last week. Many joined to congratulate Veteran Air on opening its second business location in Texas. ​ Mike Andersen, a proud veteran of the United States Army, has worked in HVAC for the majority of his life. He joined the Army and served our country from 2001 to 2005. When returning home he worked with his father and started his own company. His team takes immense pride in serving their customers with the utmost integrity in the service we provide. Thank you to All-American Brew Works for hosting the Ribbon Cutting! The cheeseburgers were legendary!
