The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce (SCV Chamber) announced the launch of its newest initiative, the Small Business Roundtable. 

As a branch-off from the Chamber’s Small Business Council, the purpose of the Roundtable will be to help improve the survivability of recently launched small businesses, to sustain success of existing small businesses, and to help grow small businesses into larger businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley.

The roundtable is set to host monthly discussions on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, sales, taxes, operational efficiencies, trademark, online marketing and employee incentives. Each session, the Roundtable will invite a professional to discuss a more technical topic and give a personal insight to current rules and regulation updates. This is a Chamber member exclusive. 

The first meeting is scheduled virtually for Friday, Nov. 13 at 7 a.m. If you are interested in joining the Small Business Council or would like to be informed of our Small Business Roundtable, email hello@scvchamber.com. The Roundtable will be meeting virtually every second Friday of the month from 7:00 – 8:45 a.m.

Congratulations to the 10th Annual Salute to Patriots Honorees

The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the City of Santa Clarita and collaboration with the Veterans Collaborative, are proud to announce the honorees for the 10th Annual Salute to Patriots: an event honoring local veterans for their service to our nation and leadership in our business community.

The 2020 honorees (listed alphabetically) are: 

• Bill Miranda
• Phuong Quach
• Paul Raggio
• Jeffrey Stabile 
• Leslie Thorpe

Veterans were nominated by both chamber members and local residents and then selected by a committee composed of veterans and business leaders. Given the pandemic, the Chamber has revamped most of their events to follow health and safety guidelines. With the Patriots Luncheon being one of the Chamber’s most popular events, the decision to revamp the event virtually was simple.

Each individual honoree video will be shown daily leading up to Veteran’s Day then be compiled into a full program and shown on Wednesday, Nov. 11. The honoree videos and full virtual program can be watched via the Chamber, The Signal and KHTS’ social media pages as well as on SCVTV at 5:30 p.m.

The SCV Chamber also welcomes back Andy Gump as Title Sponsor for this year’s event. Program sponsorships are currently available and can be accessed by emailing hello@scvchamber.com. Additional sponsors include, Assemblywoman Christy Smith, the City of Santa Clarita, Chiquita Canyon, Princess Cruises, Samuel Dixon Family Health Center and Wells Fargo.
