Since its inception, the Chamber has supported the growth and development of Pasadena into a world renowned city. From helping form the Tournament of Roses®, the organization responsible for our amazing New Year celebrations, to leading efforts to pass bonds to pay for the Colorado Street Bridge and our historic City Hall, the Chamber of Commerce has led efforts to build and promote Pasadena.

Currently, the Chamber of Commerce works to grow the economic foundation of Pasadena by helping companies expand, relocate or prosper. The Chamber has supported efforts to bring technology and bio-medical research companies to Pasadena. Chamber advocacy has helped businesses reduce the impact of water rate hikes, health inspection cost increases and convinced the Pasadena City Council not to raise taxes and fees. The Chamber continues to advocate for effective transit options for Pasadena and is a strong supporter of completing the Gold Line light rail to Montclair and beyond.
As a representative of greater Pasadena, the Chamber serves as a resource for information, an advocate for business and economic development and a partner in facilitating our members’ prosperity.
