Advocating For Small Businesses In Our Community

Your Chamber, in partnership with the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) and the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, convened a high-level Immigration & Workforce Roundtable with Congresswoman Young Kim (CA-40) and regional business and civic leaders. The discussion highlighted workforce challenges facing local industries and explored sensible immigration solutions that support economic growth and stability.

Our Governmental Affairs and Policy team is always working to ensure that our lawmakers are aware of the issues that impact our local businesses and our local economy. This recent roundtable was a continuation of that effort and a step towards greater advocacy work in the future.
