Profile: Greater Riverside Chamber Commerce

Our Mission: We are committed to building a stronger local economy: by actively promoting and supporting our community by fostering the growth and strength of our member organizations, and by engaging federal, state and local officials on behalf of business interests. The Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce (GRCC) was an important player in Riverside's economic and community life throughout the 20th century. In 2006, the organization is nearly 1700 members strong, and is dedicated to helping Riverside become even greater. As one of the oldest, largest, and most influential chambers in the state, the GRCC works closely with local government and other entities to stimulate development and improve the quality of life. The dedicated volunteerism and contributions from a large number of local business leaders and entities make this possible. The Chamber is pro-actively involved in every important issue facing Riverside. Chamber leaders bring people together to solve problems; they orchestrate meetings to discuss projects, and work diligently behind the scenes to forge agreements and compromises. Whatever is needed to advance the progress and welfare of the community - the Riverside Chamber is there, ready to pitch in.
