Chamber Committees

Government Relations

One of our strengths at the Salinas Valley Chamber is building relationships with government decision-makers. The GRC meets once a month, on the Second Wednesday from 11:30am-1pm at the Chamber. We discuss and weigh in on matters affecting local businesses, focusing on policies at the city and County level. The GRC invites many guest speakers to the meetings, so it’s a fantastic way to get to know the movers-and-shakers in the area. Open to all current members of the Chamber.

To RSVP for our next GRC meeting, or if you have any questions, please email operations@salinaschamber.com.
