Mission:

Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce is the unrivaled authority of business – advocating on its behalf, anticipating trends, advancing knowledge, creating innovative practices that inspire and invigorate, and embodying a professional conscience. The organization has been leading businesses to success since 1923.

The Chamber of Commerce serves the business community through programs and services coordinated through Economic Development, Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau, Communications, Beverly Hills Global and its Membership Department. The Chamber’s Executive Director oversees all functions and operations of the organization, and a Director heads each department. A strong Board of Directors and a Board of Governors support strategies and initiatives. The Board of Directors is led by the organization’s President, who serves a 12-month term, assisted by an Executive Committee comprised of Vice Presidents representing the organization’s departments and major activities. The Board of Governors is an honorary and advisory body to the Board of Directors comprised of current and active members of the Chamber of Commerce who have been of exceptional service to the Chamber and community at large.

History:

The history of the Chamber goes hand in hand with the history of the City of Beverly Hills. Partners for over 80 years, the Chamber has been instrumental in the evolution of the City, both its community and business landscapes. Rich in tradition and rich in accomplishment, Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce & Civic Association has helped to create the brand known around the world as "Beverly Hills."

The United States Census of 1920 counted 674 people as residents of the newly incorporated City of Beverly Hills. Known as “Midway between Los Angeles and the Sea,” the new community, while steeped in pride and optimism, was facing inevitable challenges in those early years. The Roaring ‘20s had begun and Beverly Hills was in the drivers seat.
