3. Help Train Your Employees
Through the employment training taxes you already paid, the State of California Employment Training Panel offsets the cost of employee training for qualifying companies. These funds are available through the Chamber. A wide variety of Business & Computer Skills, Six Sigma, Lean Methodology and Manufacturing Skills are but a few of training that is available.
4. Help Improve the Local Economy
“If you aren’t at the table, you’re on the menu!” Your business is top of mind in your life. Understandably, economic development may not be a priority. If it is, knowing what to do, how to do it, and when to do it can be overwhelming! The Chamber’s Economic Development Council gives you a seat at the table. Seats on the council are available to leaders from member businesses that have a desire to play a role in improving the local economy. The Economic Development Council is responsible for a number of programs that help strengthen Santa Ana’s economy, such as the annual Growth Conference and Taste of Santa Ana. As a member of the Chamber you can build a vision that makes everyone better “together.”
5. Engage with Your Community
Knowing the culture of a community will ultimately influence where entrepreneurs and the workforce choose to live, work and play. At the heart of the Chamber’s Community Engagement Council efforts is to help members connect in ways that they can make an impact in Santa Ana.
