Chairman's Message
In a notable development for our community, the city has approved the Security Resource Pilot Program, and we are thrilled to support this program. The resources provided by this program will be instrumental in enhancing security and safety for local businesses, thereby fortifying the resilience of our community. The Chamber supports this initiative and remains steadfast in advocating for the business community.The Chamber kicked off its busy season last month with the 38th annual Golf Classic Tournament, which drew over 150 participants. This event allowed members to connect with their community and explore new business opportunities. We rolled out the welcome mat for our newest members at the New Member Reception. New members were provided with a valuable introduction to the Chamber, ensuring that new members gained the knowledge and connections necessary for success within the Chamber community and the local business environment. The Chamber is celebrating some legislative wins on crucial legislation: SB 799 would have increased California’s outstanding Unemployment Insurance Fund to nearly $20 billion. The Chamber opposed this bill, and it was vetoed by the Governor. Additionally, SB 75 was signed into law and will improve the judicial system’s efficiency by adding crucial judicial positions statewide. Riverside County will now have four additional judicial positions to handle case backlogs and dismissals. Finally, I encourage all of you to show your support for Riverside’s businesses and choose to shop locally this holiday season.
