Strategic Direction, Community Impact

Chamber priorities are set by the board of directors on an annual basis. They are driven by member surveys and board interaction with members. The staff implements the plans to achieve the desired result.

The leadership of the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce is composed of dedicated professionals who bring vision, experience, and a deep commitment to the community. Our Board of Directors sets the strategic priorities that guide the Chamber’s work, informed by the voices of our members and the evolving needs of the local business landscape.

Our staff transforms these priorities into action—organizing impactful programs, advocating for policies that support growth, and providing resources that empower businesses to thrive. Together, they ensure that the Chamber remains a strong and responsive partner in Chula Vista’s continued economic success.
