A word from the Chamber President & CEO
Alameda’s Future is Bright!
To our valued members, partners, and newcomers,
The Alameda Chamber & Economic Alliance invites you to be part of something truly special.
For nearly a century, we’ve proudly served as the voice of Alameda’s vibrant business community. But we’re not just about tradition; we’re about boldly shaping the future.
Our mission remains crystal clear: to ignite growth, foster prosperity, and cultivate a thriving community where businesses of all sizes can flourish.
Here’s how we’re making it happen:
- Supercharging Small Businesses: We’re thrilled to launch the Alameda Small Business Center in partnership with the City of Alameda and SBDC East Bay! This game-changing hub will provide expert guidance, workshops, and vital resources to empower entrepreneurs and fuel innovation.
- Amplifying Your Voice: Advocacy is at our core. We’re your tireless champions, ensuring your needs are heard loud and clear at every level of government.
- Building a Powerful Network: Connect, collaborate, and grow with our dynamic events and programs. From insightful Business Power Lunches to our Chamber Connections programs, we’re bringing people together to forge lasting relationships and drive success.
- Showcasing Alameda’s Brilliance: We’re shouting from the rooftops about what makes Alameda an exceptional place to live, work, and do business. And this year, we’re taking it a step further with the launch of a new website, Choose Alameda, in partnership with the City of Alameda. This dynamic platform will be a central hub for attracting businesses, talent, and investment to our thriving island community.
