The SCV Chamber announced nominations for the 2020 Santa Clarita Valley Business Choice Awards will officially open from Monday, November 16 till Wednesday, December 23.

The 98th Annual Awards & Installation will take place virtually on Thursday, January 28, 2021 starting at 6:00 PM for a cocktail reception and networking, with the program beginning promptly at 7:00 PM.

Business After Hours Virtual Mixer – Newleaf Training and Development

Don’t miss your last chance to network before the year ends.

Our Business After Hours are back! Though we have transitioned into a virtual mixer, you still will get the opportunity to network in small groups as we did in person. We are pleased to use a platform that gives us the capabilities for in-person networking but from the comfort of our office or home. Once our event begins, you will be placed at a random table with either 4 or 6 other guests and you will be able to see and speak to them.

Donations from the event will go to the American Cancer Society.

You then will have the ability to jump from table to table, but only if there is an open seat, to speak to a different group. Looking to have a quick one-on-one session? You can use the chat feature with anyone that is in the room and invite them to a smaller table to get the chance to have a separate conversation. Small group networking, like we did in person, but from wherever you are most comfortable.

SCV Chamber Member 401(K) Retirement Plan

Being a member of the Chamber means you are a part of a vibrant business community that works together and shares opportunities and successes. The SCV Chambers new 401(k) program brings our business community together to create the ability for small and medium-sized businesses to offer cost-effective 401(k) retirement plans for their employees with substantially fewer administrative responsibilities.

The SCV Chamber has partnered with Lincoln Financial Group to oversee our new Multiple Employer Aggregation Program (MEAP) retirement plan including the plan’s important administrative, recordkeeping and fiduciary services. Locally, LBW Insurance and Financial Services, will serve as the preferred local agent for the plan helping to get more businesses enrolled in the plan to help them reduce overhead expenses and meet new state requirements. The plan is open for all Chamber-member agents to participate.
