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.
Chamber Ambassadors
The Ambassadors are volunteers who help the Chamber accomplish its mission while enjoying many special perks that help them market their own businesses. If you are interested in becoming an Ambassador or serving in any volunteer role with the Chamber please call 831-751-7725 or email jasmine@salinaschamber.com.
