Jonathan Chu

The Independence

As a Business Coach teaching selling/networking, I’m asked a lot about the Santa Monica Chamber. I love sharing that my experience has been outstanding…and I’ve only been a member for a few months. In that short time I have gotten 6 fabulous new clients and referred and connected others that I’ve met at the mixers, speed networking and breakfasts. Santa Monica Chamber = Great Support, Fantastic Connections, Fun New Business!

Step Into More Coaching

Membership in the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce has given me a faster conduit to City Hall and has facilitated interfacing with the City Manager and City Attorney with concerns in my industry as for example when the City passed an Ordinance proposing to ban "sandwich signs" denoting Open Houses in Santa Monica.

Pence Hathorn Silver - Partners Trust

I've been a member of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce for over 25 years. It's offered me, as a local businessman, so many outlets to improve and grow my commercial real estate business. There are several informative committees to join to keep you updated on the local scene, educational seminars offered to better market my products and fine tune my business skills, and many other fun social events to mix it up and get better acquainted. I owe my success to this Chamber. Thank you!

My membership with the Chamber has enriched both my personal and professional life. The Chamber provides me with valuable educational programs, strong committee partnerships and above all, people work with people they like! The relationships that I have built through the chamber will last a lifetime. It is my privilege to serve and participate. There is tremendous value in being a Chamber member!

I find that the best benefit is the interaction with business leaders and local government officials to improve the economic environment for our community. I consider my company's chamber membership a contribution to the well being of our city.
