Culver City Chamber of Commerce

What Culver City Chamber of Commerce does

The Culver City Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit, membership-based business advocacy organization founded circa 1924 in Culver City, California. It represents more than 500 investor businesses and 70,000+ employees within the city, providing advocacy at the local, state, and federal levels, networking events, marketing exposure, and small-business resources including referrals to SBA loan programs, Rapid Response layoff assistance, and government contracting guidance. Core products include a tiered membership program (10+ levels ranging from $300 for Non Profit Partners to $1,825+ for Culver Champion, with premium tiers requiring direct contact), a searchable Business Directory organized across 90+ categories, an Events Calendar supporting registration for mixers, seminars, and marquee events such as the Installation Gala and the 9th Annual Women In Business Leadership Awards, and a Culver City Chamber mobile app on iOS and Android.

The underlying technology stack is built on GrowthZone membership management software, which powers the member portal, directory, events calendar, and job postings platform. Proprietary features include the Culver City Chamber Mobile App and a Member Certificate Generator that lets members embed verified Chamber affiliation on their own websites. Revenue is generated through recurring annual membership dues, a $40 one-time application fee, event ticket sales, and an expanding portfolio of marketing and sponsorship packages (newsletter banner ads, solo e-blasts, web/social ads, and marquee-event sponsorships). Go-to-market is hybrid: an inside sales team handles membership acquisition and welcome outreach, while events, an Ambassador program, the Women in Business Council, and the Government Affairs Committee drive community-led referrals.

The organization operates from a single office at 6000 Sepulveda Blvd #1260, Culver City, CA, with a 14-person staff including President & CEO Dan O'Brien (announced January 2026, succeeding Colin Diaz), and is governed by a volunteer board of directors. It maintains an active social media presence across Instagram (2,726 followers), Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, and reaches 3,700+ email subscribers via its weekly e-newsletter. Strategic partners include JVS So Cal, the LA County Rapid Response Team, the West LA AJCC/WorkSource Center, and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
