Advocacy Positions
The Members of the Silicon Valley Central Chamber (SVC Chamber) take pride in making a difference in the halls of government. This is OUR community. We WORK here - yes. But, we also LIVE here. And, PLAY here. Every businessperson, especially managers and executives, eventually come to the understanding, that...
Just because you are not interested in politics...
Doesn't mean politics isn't interested in you.
(especially your wallet)
ADVOCACY (meaning: taking political positions on issues that affect business aka "fighting city hall") is a big part of the SVC Chamber. It is not the only dimension of why Members join, but it is the first word we all use to describe what we do at the SVC Chamber.
After all, we...
ADVOCATE. EDUCATE. CONNECT.
THE BUSINESS CHAMBER & CVB
IN SILICON VALLEY
We advocate mostly with the City Councils in the various cities of Silicon Valley. We also are very active in County politics, advocating in Santa Clara County, Alameda County, and San Mateo County. On occasion we will make our loud voice heard in Sacramento at the California State Legislature and/or the Governor's office. And, rarer still, we may even wade into national politics, advocating with Congress.
