"We help bring more wealth to the entire Ontario Area."

The Ontario, California Chamber of Commerce serves as another one of the city's business development arms. In this capacity the chamber works to develop the city's economic sustainability by attracting people, dollars and jobs to Ontario. In attracting investment, the partnership:

 - Ensure there is plenty of employment now and for future generations.
- Spread the business tax burden.
- Enhance schools and cultural institutions.
- Increase the size of the sales "pie" for Chamber members.

The Ontario Chamber... you may have heard the name, but what does it mean?
 

It's simple - the Chamber is made up of member companies that make a volunteer annual investment in order to receive an even greater return on their investment at the end of the year. Currently, more than 700 businesses across the Inland Empire have decided to make that initial investment to help develop their company...and that number continues to grow.

 

"We help businesses save money on everyday expenses."

The Chamber offers considerable return on investment with a diverse array of money-making opportunities. Networking events, procurement services, small business/international trade counseling and more are all available to help members penetrate new markets, access new customers and retain existing customers.

"We serve as an influential voice on legislative issues that affect Inland Empire business."

Although the Chamber stays heavily involved in public policy and keeps strong ties to local, state and federal government, it is not a part of any one municipality. Instead, through its offices in Ontario, the Chamber lobbies on behalf of businesses throughout the Inland Empire of Southern California when pending legislation may have an impact.
