The Chamber of Commerce gives voice to local businesses. We actively engage with our members to better understand their operations, their offerings, and the challenges they face. We promote and advocate on their behalf, understanding that a healthy business climate is essential to a healthy community – and vice versa.

Our advocacy efforts have several components

Business Issues & Public Policy Committee
This monthly gathering enables members to learn and to identify key issues of interest to Mountain View businesses, and strategize on courses of action. Areas of focus include local, state and federal legislative issues, as well as business and industry related issues such as transportation, development, regulation and business trends. The committee meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. 12:00pm – 1:30pm at the Chamber.  For more information, please contact govt_relations@chambermv.org.

Government Relations

We have a close relationship with our local city government, and work together with a wide range of departments on refining existing policies and processes, and making it easier for businesses to navigate. We speak on behalf of businesses at City Council meetings, as well as reach out to state, county and national elected officials on issues of importance.
