El Segundo Chamber of Commerce
The Voice for Business

COMMITTEES

One significant way for members to make the Chamber successful – for themselves and for others – is to get involved. By participating on a committee or task force, members meet people, build business relationships and referral sources, and contribute to goals and objectives of value to the business community and the Chamber.
