Letter to Editor: Chamber Celebrates 100th Anniversary

Letter to Editor,

The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau is proud to be celebrating our 100th Anniversary this year and we are looking forward to another great year in 2012.

The Chamber is excited to continue our role as an ambassador in promoting Hermosa Beach to visitors from around the country and around the world as the wonderful and beautiful place that it is.

We are a self funded non-profit organization and are pleased to serve as an advocate for all local businesses that serve our residents.

Our Board of Directors and staff are comprised of a diverse combination of businesses, local citizens and volunteers that make our community such a special place.

Our membership is represented by over 350 local businesses and our Hermosa Beach Young Professionals group has enabled many individual local business professionals to become involved with Chamber activities and networking opportunities.

The Chamber is also a very active member in the community, contributing to many local charities through funds raised from our Fiesta Hermosa, which has become one of the largest Arts and Crafts Festivals in Southern California.

We have demonstrated our commitment to the community by taking on many popular events including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Sidewalk Festivals, the Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, First Thursdays and New Year’s Eve Celebration at Pier Plaza.  

The Chamber also recently purchased festive banners, lights and ornaments to decorate the city for the holiday season.

We are also proud to host a weekly Farmers Market and are sponsors of local events including the Summer Beach Concert Series and the recent Snowfest on Pier Avenue.

We encourage anyone interested in becoming involved or learning more about what the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce is all about to visit our website.

Happy New Year!

Maureen Hunt
Executive Director
