STUDY MISSION
Travel with San Jose's Most Distinguished Leaders and Stakeholders.

In the past, a delegation comprised 80 delegates from the SJ Chamber Board of Directors, elected officials, city staff, key business leaders, and community leaders who explored and studied the various issues and public policies that have and continue to impact major cities in the United States.
As we look toward the next trip and the immense possibilities for businesses to grow and expand in our region, we are also looking at how we can help improve our city through the lens of arts and entertainment, neighborhood beautification, and social and cultural vibrancy.
