​A West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce (WHCC) membership is an investment in your business, your brand and the environment in which your business operates.  No other business organization is as deeply plugged into what is happening in the West Hollywood community and the West side. A WHCC Membership provides access to influences in business and government connecting the power of the Chamber network on a local, state and federal level. Interaction with other Chamber Members fosters valuable business connections that turn into rewarding business relationships.

In addition to representing your business in government, WHCC has numerous marketing platforms to incorporate into your strategic marketing plans.  WHCC, more than any other Chamber, has a “targeted” approach to reach the audience you are seeking and has created programs and promotions suited to today’s fast-paced, time-depraved business environment we are in today.  Social Media plays a big role in getting your message out and you may utilize it anytime as part of your membership.  Check out more information on the Marketing and Promotions page, or click here.
