Grow Your Business. Expand Your Reach. Strengthen Your Community.
Members of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce are part of one of Southern California's most respected business organizations—a network of business leaders committed to helping one another succeed while strengthening Pasadena's economy and quality of life.
Pasadena Chamber membership delivers more than $2,155 in valuable services and benefits, along with powerful opportunities to increase your visibility, build meaningful relationships, attract new customers, and influence the future of Pasadena.
Increase Your Visibility
Chamber membership puts member businesses in front of thousands of potential customers throughout the year.
As a member, you'll receive:
• A listing in the Chamber's online Business Directory and the annual Business Directory & Visitor Guide,
reaching more than 1,250 Chamber member businesses and thousands of residents, visitors, and prospective customers.
• Promotion through the Chamber's social media channels. Tag @Pasadena_ChamberofCommerce on Instagram, and we'll share your posts to our account, as well as Facebook.
• Opportunities to advertise or be featured in Pasadena Perspective, our digital magazine published three times each year.
• At no cost, you can be featured in our weekly e-bulletin that reaches 3,000 business leaders and community stakeholders.
• Opportunities to market directly to new homeowners through our New Resident Postcard Program (advertising fee applies).
The Chamber website attracts 4,500 to 6,000 visitors every week, with more than half searching our member directory for local businesses. More than 60% of those visitors are first-time users, giving members continual exposure to new customers. Members are also featured in the Chamber's mobile app, making it easy for customers to find your business, events, news, and special offers.
Build Relationships That Grow Your Business
Business is built on relationships, and no organization in Pasadena offers more opportunities to connect with fellow professionals and decision-makers.
Pasadena Chamber members have access to:
• Monthly networking breakfasts and lunches attended by 40 to 70 business professionals
• Quarterly After-Hours Social Mixers, regularly attracting more than 50 attendees
• Young Professionals of Pasadena, offering networking and leadership opportunities for professionals ages 21–40
• Introductions to fellow members, community leaders, and prospective clients through personalized emails.
Perhaps most importantly, the Pasadena Chamber refers only Chamber member businesses. When businesses, residents, and visitors contact us looking for products and services, we recommend our members—not non-members.
A Strong, Effective Voice for Business
The Pasadena Chamber advocates for local businesses before the City of Pasadena, Los Angeles County, the State of California, and the federal government.
Whether you're facing permitting challenges, navigating inspections, seeking business resources, or looking for assistance with local government, our experienced staff works to help members succeed and ensure the business community has a strong, respected voice.
Save Time and Money on Employee Retirement Plans
Members can simplify retirement planning through the Chamber's Multiple Employer Retirement Plan (MEP).
Developed in partnership with Millennium Pension Services, Pasadena Private Wealth, and Transamerica, the MEP provides the benefits of a traditional 401(k) while significantly reducing administrative responsibilities, compliance requirements, audits, and fiduciary obligations. It also helps employers satisfy California's retirement plan requirements.
