Antioch Chamber of Commerce

What Antioch Chamber of Commerce does

The Antioch Chamber of Commerce is a private, non-profit membership organization incorporated in 1938 and headquartered at 640 West 2nd Street, Antioch, California. It serves businesses, organizations, and individuals in the Antioch community and broader Contra Costa County, providing networking, advocacy, marketing exposure, and educational resources to support local economic development.

The Chamber operates a community-led and event-driven go-to-market model built around a recurring membership subscription, with ancillary revenue generated from event registrations (mixers, trade shows, the annual Chamber Cares Golf Tournament), e-blast advertising sent 4-6 times monthly to 2,000+ subscribers, business directory listings, facility space rental ($80-$100/hour), the Best of Antioch recognition program, and a Chamber Cares Grant Program that distributes $500 grants to businesses affected by vandalism. Its core technology is the Wild Apricot hosted platform, which powers online membership enrollment, event registration, member access portals, and the online business directory; the printed flipbook directory is produced via Printing Center USA.

The Chamber is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors drawn from member businesses (Becker/RCF Connects as Chair, Coleman/Royal Banquet & Hall as Vice-Chair, Walker/Service Pros Plumbers as Treasurer, Glenn/TreVista Senior Living as Immediate Past Chair) plus a City of Antioch Council liaison, and supported by a small staff of two (Membership Director Leah Becker and Chamber Support Specialist Lani Wright). Strategic partners include Travis Credit Union (venue for mixers), Lone Tree Golf & Event Center (golf tournament host), Wild Apricot (technology), Mutual of Omaha (insurance), and Printing Center USA (printing). The Chamber Cares Golf Tournament and ongoing e-blast program represent the most active member-engagement flywheels.

Broad incumbents

• California Chamber of Commerce: The statewide California Chamber of Commerce, operating a similar business-advocacy and networking model but at state rather than city level, providing policy and lobbying services that complement—but do not directly compete with—local chambers.
• U.S. Chamber of Commerce: The national U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the apex industry body for the Chamber of Commerce model. While it does not directly compete for local SMB members, it provides the brand umbrella, policy framework, and affiliation context that local chambers like Antioch operate within.

Direct peers
