Lafayette Chamber

What Lafayette Chamber does

Lafayette Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 1947, headquartered at 251 Lafayette Circle, Ste 150, Lafayette, California. It serves the local business community across the Lamorinda area (Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda) and Contra Costa County, with a stated base of 793 member businesses as of August 2026. The organization operates with a 22-person staff under a Board of Directors, with Grace Dixon serving as Office Administrator and Project Coordinator and Jeremy Steel as Board President.

The Chamber's product surface centers on a tiered membership program delivered through the CC-Assist.NET chamber management platform, accessible via a WordPress website and a self-serve member portal (cca.lafayettechamber.org). Members receive access to a public business directory and map, event registration, job and volunteer listings, promotion and announcement channels, and email blast services. The Chamber operates multiple specialized networking subgroups — Young Professionals, Business Women, Chamber Connectors, Nonprofit Network, and the Health & Wellness Alliance launched October 2025 — and runs signature community events including the 29th annual Lafayette Art & Wine Festival and the 34th annual Res Run for Education, the latter delivering $37,611 to local public schools in 2025. Marketing is distributed across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, and email.

The business model is diversified across three revenue streams: recurring annual membership dues on an auto-renewal subscription basis, transaction-based event registrations, sponsorships and vendor/booth fees tied primarily to the signature festivals and mixers, and advertising revenue from member promotions and email blasts. Membership pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; non-member guests attend a first event free and pay $20 per subsequent event. Acquisition is sales-led, driven by direct outreach, member referrals, monthly new-member orientations, and signature event visibility, with no external parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership indicated.
