Membership Benefits

The Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce promotes business in Simi Valley, through leadership, political action, and services to increase opportunities for our members” is the Chamber’s mission statement, and for over 65 years, the Chamber has provided these services to its members. The strength of the Chamber lies in its membership, which creates a pool of resources from which ideas, manpower, and support can be drawn. Members, consisting of small businesses, large companies, home-based businesses, and professional men and women, work together to enhance the quality of life in Simi Valley.

AN ADVOCATE FOR BUSINESS
The Chamber functions as the headquarters for the business community by representing member businesses before government bodies and conducting joint activities. It provides an opportunity for members to become directly involved in community issues and to express their views on developments that may affect their business. The Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business in the Simi Valley City Council, Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION

County Vaccine Update
Click Here for Ventura County Vaccine Information Portal

​As of 1/19/21 31,553 individuals have been vaccinated in Ventura County. The County has received 44,625 first dose vaccines. All appointments are filled this week.
More appointments will be opened next week. A notice will be sent when they open up.

The County has to wait each week on the amount of vaccines provided to the County from the State and then more appointments can be made. All vaccines coming in are going out to the people in Phase 1A and 75 and older. We have more eligible people wanting the vaccine than vaccines available.

It will take months to vaccinate all people. Vaccine supply is the biggest barrier to making this effort move more quickly. This is impacting Counties throughout the State.

Once appointments are opened you can register on the Ventura County Recovers website at the following link:

www.venturacountyrecovers.org/vaccine-information/portal/.

You can also call their hotline to make an appointment next week. Currently, the hotline has a recording saying all appointments are full. Once more appointments are open an operator will be able to help callers make appointments. 
The phone number is: 805-477-7151.

The Area Agency on Aging provides transportation services for older adults that are in need of transportation to a vaccine appointment or for COVID-19 testing. This includes people that need lift assist as well as gurney transportation. The driver will take you, wait for you, help you at the site and take you home. 
To schedule a ride call 805-477-7300. 

You must have a vaccine appointment before you schedule a ride.
