About the Chamber

The ongoing mission of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce is to promote economic opportunity through business and community leadership and to enhance the social and civic environment of Newport Beach. The Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce is a business organization of almost 1,000 members representing over 25,000 employees. The Chamber - with its five councils, committees, staff and valuable members - works with city officials, local businesses and the community at large to promote the local economy.


Building a Strong Local Economy
The Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to helping local companies grow their businesses by taking the lead in programs to create a strong local economy. The Chamber holds several events that directly impact the economic progress of the city, including the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, Taste of Newport and Business at the Beach Business Exposition.

Promoting the Community
The Newport Beach Chamber promotes the community by assisting businesses to relocate here, participating in efforts to improve our quality of life, and advocating our community as a great place for people to live and do business. The Chamber hosts several events which bring the Newport Beach community closer together and highlight our unique lifestyle. Some of our events contributing to a strong "sense of community" are the Police Appreciation Breakfast, Sandcastle Contest and Scholarship Awards Breakfast.

Providing Networking and Business Development Opportunities
The networking opportunities provided by the Newport Beach Chamber give members the chance to interact with other business professionals and exchange ideas and referrals. The Chamber's Newport Networking Breakfasts and Luncheons, 5-Minute Networking  events, and Newport Sunset Networking Mixers provide excellent networking opportunities in a relaxed, social environment.

Representing the Interests of Business To Government
The Newport Beach Chamber works year-round on your behalf to ensure local and state elected officials are educated on the impact their decisions will have on our economy. We communicate our concerns to legislators and the business community through the Business Lookout, e-mail and fax alerts, and editorials in local newspapers.

Engaging in Political Action
The Newport Beach Chamber positions itself  "in the heart" of politics by endorsing City Council candidates and taking positions on state and local ballot measures. It is the Chamber's job to analyze the impact each issue will have on local businesses, and to relay this information to our members and the community. Through our Business And Community Political Action Committee (BACPAC) the Chamber coordinates direct mail pieces, raises money and promotes our political positions to the public.

We serve as the voice of business in Newport Beach. We are a membership organization that has been in existence since 1907, comprised of nearly 1,000 local businesses with 1,700 individuals representing over 25,000 employees who believe in the importance of creating a sense of community among local businesses. Our members are from every industry, large and small, old and new, from home based business just starting out to very large businesses with thousands of employees.To accomplish its mission, the Chamber relies on the efforts of our members, our Board of Directors (which reads like a who's who list of the business leaders in Newport Beach), volunteers and the generosity of companies who sponsor our events.
