The Long Beach Chamber of Commerce seeks to accomplish the goals articulated in our mission statement through our own efforts and through working collaboratively with others. The Chamber also seeks to provide a forum to articulate, exchange, explore and evaluate diverse ideas and strategies for their possible benefit to our community. The fact that the Chamber may choose to work with third parties to accomplish its goals, or that the Chamber at times allows third parties to present their viewpoints at Chamber events is not an indication the Chamber endorses or agrees with such view points. Members of the Chamber are free to express their own personal opinions in public, in public postings or on their own personal social media accounts. In any such case Board members personal statements are not to be construed as being approved by the Chamber, unless specifically indicated that any statement has been approved by a majority of the Board.
