The Santa Cruz County Chamber of Commerce has been a voice for businesses and our community since 1889. As a non-profit member organization, our mission is to promote economic vitality and prosperity, ensure a high quality of life, ensure fairness and efficiency in community decision-making, and promote efficient and sustainable business practices.
Our Santa Cruz County Chamber of Commerce is an independent entity not affiliated with the U.S. Chamber. This independence allows us to focus solely on the needs and interests of our local community. We are a diverse community, with member organizations ranging from single-person, home-based businesses to large organizations of more than 200 people. We have members from every area of Santa Cruz County, from Davenport and Boulder Creek north of Santa Cruz County to Santa Cruz and Capitola on the coast to Freedom and Watsonville in the south county. We are a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization with a Board of members who volunteer without compensation. We are the seventh-largest business organization in northern California and are here to serve and support you.
