“Joining the Santa Maria Chamber of Commerce was a natural decision for CADA. As we continue to expand our services in Santa Maria, we wanted to connect more deeply with the local community and be part of a network that prioritizes collaboration, support, and shared growth. The Chamber has already provided meaningful opportunities for us to engage with local leaders, raise awareness about our mission, and strengthen our presence in Santa Maria. We are grateful to be part of a community that values connection and is invested in the well-being of its residents — something that aligns closely with the work we do every day.” 

- Luna Shalabi, Development Manager, Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse

“Due to the nature of my role, I am a part of many networking groups, like the Santa Maria Valley Chamber’s Build Your Business weekly meeting. However, this is one that I make sure to attend consistently — not only because it has resulted in the highest number of orders and referrals for me, but also because I genuinely enjoy being part of it each Friday. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, making it feel more like collaborating with friends than a typical networking meeting. It’s definitely worth the drive every week!”

- Tyler Flynn, Sales Representative, Poor Richard’s Press

“The Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce has been a great resource and advocate for our business.  The folks within the Chamber promote businesses toward success and have an awesome business culture to work with. I recommend SMV Chamber of Commerce Memberships for businesses of any size. The networking is priceless and the Chambers involvement in the business and residential community is great!”
