The Long Beach Chamber of Commerce: Business, Community & Government Working Together Our central goal is to encourage the community's forces to work together for its improvement and development in business, industry, and community. The Chamber does what no one person can do. It is a volunteer group of local business owners who live, work, and play here. The mission of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce is to promote the businesses that add value to our community while fostering a beneficial relationship with the community and helping improve the overall quality of life in the City of Long Beach and surrounding communities. The Chamber does not carry all this work alone but often works closely with other organizations and public officials. It aims to help all members of the business community-firms and individuals alike. In some cases, the Chamber works with the city and county government in areas such as industrial development, public relations, and development programs.
