The Chamber
Chamber Introduction
The San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce is a coalition of businesses representing more than a quarter of a million jobs across every sector of the economy. We believe that like our community, the strength of our organization is found in its diversity.
We are proud that 80% of our members are small businesses, and we recognize them for creating 8 out of 10 new jobs in the valley. The Chamber aggressively advocates for an economic climate that nurtures these important employment engines. Concurrently, the Chamber serves as a voice representing our largest employers, and the pioneers of the high-tech industries that gave Silicon Valley its moniker. These pillars of economic stability are assets we must prize. The Chamber is continually working to keep community leadership mindful of this.
Creating a healthy environment for businesses of every size is the core of our mission. The Chamber takes a stand to protect jobs and provide for greater prosperity in our community, we do this through advocacy, powerful networking, business development programming, and community building. We are pleased to do so and to be your Chamber of Commerce.
The new Chamber web site is a profile of our community and direct link to our members. It is an invaluable resource, and we encourage you to utilize it to access and patronize the Chamber membership. Their presence on the site, and membership in the Chamber is a testament to their investment in our community, and in economic prosperity for all businesses in Silicon Valley.
