Welcome to Simi Valley, a family-oriented, safe, business-friendly community that provides opportunities for businesses of all types and sizes to prosper. Simi Valley is home to over 126,000 residents, combining business and technological advancements. The Chamber of Commerce takes a very active role in the community, providing leadership and services to local businesses of all sizes and industries. As a five star accredited Chamber of Commerce our Simi Valley Chamber is among the top 3% of Chambers Nationwide. This significant designation, of which only 5 Chambers in California have, is due in large part to the invaluable contributions of hundreds of Chamber members and volunteers, working alongside our talented Chamber staff to improve the business environment and quality of life enjoyed in Simi Valley. The Chamber has achieved a significant milestone this year as we celebrate 60 years of service to our members and the community.
