Mission Statement
The Manhattan Beach Chamber is an association of businesses, other entities and individuals organized to encourage a strong local economy and quality of life by promoting commerce, sound government and an informed membership and community.
Vision Statement
The Chamber will be the acknowledged leader in enhancing business, education and development through a cooperative link of community spirit. As we move into the 21st century, all area businesses and organizations will consider membership an investment in their success.
The Strategic Plan
The Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce has realized significant membership growth in the past several years in a business climate of tremendous competition for people’s time and involvement. Total membership was 367 in 1999 and reached 765 in 2005. In an effort to stay on this positive path and to protect the successes of the organization, the MBCC has developed this strategic plan with the intent it will serve as a “roadmap” for future leadership.
