Mission Statement
The Manhattan Beach Chamber is an association of businesses, other entities and individuals organized to encourage a strong local economy and quality of life by promoting commerce, sound government and an informed membership and community.
Board of Directors
The Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is comprised of business leaders throughout the South Bay. They represent a diverse group of businesses, ranging from successful home-based businesses to multi-national corporations. Their businesses include a wide variety of products and services. The Directors bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to their positions on the Board.
The members of our Board are active in all facets of the organization. They participate in all major events and many individual committee activities. Their businesses are key sponsors of many high-profile Chamber celebrations. Each Director is also responsible for the management and development of one of the Chamber’s nineteen committees. This level of involvement and active participation allows our Directors to propel the elements of an effective organization. When policies are established and other decisions are made at the Board level, our members can be assured that the positions that are adopted are coming from a well-informed body.
Directors are elected for three-year terms by the general membership of the Chamber.
