SIERRA MADRE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The mission of the Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce
is to encourage a healthy business environment by
advancing, promoting, and supporting the businesses
serving our Sierra Madre community.
We are the business voice of Sierra Madre at City Hall
and represent your interests in all other local, state and
federal agencies. We closely monitor laws and actions
that will impact your business. And we do this, even
during times of crisis.
In 2020/2021, we helped the city develop the Cares
Program which provided some financial relief for
qualified Sierra Madre Businesses. We also played
an instrumental role in helping the city develop the
expanded outdoor dining areas for our members.
In 2021 we also managed to have our Honors/Citizen
of the Year Dinner thanking community volunteers and
organizations who, in 2020 helped the community and
your business through the pandemic.
And, in an effort to get back to ‘normal’ we held a very
successful Winter Festival (Small Business Saturday
event), to bring residents and visitors to town to support
you.
Although postponed due to the Omnicom Variant,
we have postponed our 2021 Honors Dinner, but it will
happen soon. AND
On March 27, 2022 we will once again have our Wistaria
Festival which brings thousands of people into town
to partake of the wonderful shopping and service
opportunities in town!
Also in 2022, we will be working on a new branding
campaign, ‘Shop Sierra Madre’ to bring shoppers remind/introduce all residents and even more visitors to our city.
Virtual networking opportunities and informational meetings are also on our agenda!
We do all this and much more, promoting Sierra Madre as a ‘Destination’ as our goal! Whenever the "Chamber" does something, the community sees it as local
businesses supporting the community. So, please join our efforts today! Joining the Sierra Madre Chamber adds you to the list of the most highly esteemed, trustworthy
and credible businesses in the Community. Please visit our website at: www.sierramadrechamber.com.
