For well over a century the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce has served as the voice of the business community. We started with a simple goal, ensure that San Luis Obispo continue to be a prosperous city for its businesses and residents.
The Mission has evolved since it’s 1905 inception, but the goal has stayed the same.
In 2013, staff and a number of volunteers began the task of updating our Mission Statement to more clearly reflect what it is that the Chamber is all about. While we were at it we decided to create a list of values that guide our organization.
With that said, we are excited and proud to share our Mission Statement and Core Values.
