Letter from the Chair of the Board - Jill Haney

Welcome to Simi Valley, a family-oriented, safe, business-friendly community that provides opportunities for businesses of all types and sizes to prosper. The Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce has been, and continues to be, instrumental in promoting an attractive business environment that our residents enjoy. Through the dedicated efforts of our members, staff and volunteers, the Chamber organizes and conducts a variety of events throughout the year that provide our members with opportunities to promote and showcase their businesses. The Chamber constantly strives to improve the business climate and, ultimately, the quality of life in Simi Valley.

Throughout the year, the Simi Valley Chamber hosts numerous events to showcase local businesses, such as the Street Fair, Mega Mixers, the State of the City and State of the State Luncheons, monthly Business Development Luncheons, Ribbon Cutting ceremonies for new businesses, the Taste of Simi, and monthly Chamber Breakfast meetings. This year, we plan to continue this tradition of events, as well as the sponsorship of trips abroad. We are excited about the lineup of trips scheduled, which include a networking Cruise to Baja, and trips to China and Spain.

Additionally, Simi Valley has gained national attention as the home of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, and Air Force One Pavilion. Simi Valley is repeatedly named one of the safest cities in America. The Town Center Mall has brought more than 110 premier specialty shops and restaurants, along with other major retailers such as Macys, Lowes and Best Buy to our community.

The Simi Valley Chamber is recognized as a four-star Accredited Chamber of Commerce, a designation that places it in the top two percent of Chambers nationally. Inside the pages of this Directory you will find everything from large companies to smaller, home-based businesses that provide a wide variety of goods and services. As Chamber members, these businesses have made a commitment to support each other and support Chamber activities as well. I hope that you will utilize the services of these businesses whenever possible.
