For more than 100 years, the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) has been giving private-sector employers a voice in California politics. Working on the principle that California businesses need comprehensive support that follows key issues such as health care, workers' compensation and business taxes, the CalChamber uses its professional staff and reputation to help make compliance easier after laws are passed and ensure fair legislation at the state and federal levels that promote a pro-business climate.

CalChamber membership facts:

  • Members total more than 16,000
  • Members employ one-fourth the private sector workforce in California
  • 75% of CalChamber members have 100 or fewer employees
