If you own a business or are employed by one, you are our priority. As the Voice of Business for Alameda, we want to ensure your needs are taken care of and that your challenges are smoothed.

We work with elected officials at all levels as well as community leaders to help ensure Alameda is a great place to do business. We convene committees in various industries that have special needs, while we’re also in the process of working with other chambers to ensure we can leverage the power of the Bay Area for our businesses.

We hear every day how difficult it is to sell items when you have nothing on your shelves or how hard it is to provide good customer service when you can’t hire enough people. These are problems we’re working on and discussions we’re having. We don’t have the answers yet but we won’t stop until we do.

But our Island has also had many triumphs this year. We have a record-number of new businesses open considering the obstacles they were facing. We have new growth and development and a lot of housing options.

One June 16th, we’re bringing the community together to celebrate the helpers, the shining stars. At the Business Excellence Awards (BEA) we’re honoring the best of our community. We hope you will join us for a heartwarming awards ceremony

AND

A casino night!

Tickets to the BEA include beer and wine, grazing stations, a dessert station, a DJ and dancing, and amazing views. You don’t want to miss this!
