Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce

What Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce does

The Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce (LEVCOC) is a nonprofit, membership-based business organization founded in 1949 and headquartered at 132 W Graham Avenue in Lake Elsinore, California. It serves small and medium-sized businesses across the Lake Elsinore Valley and Southwest Riverside County, providing networking events, ribbon cutting ceremonies, promotional placements, and community engagement programming. The Chamber is led by a small staff of approximately 6 employees and, as of 2026, operates under President/CEO Kimberly Davidson following the transition from former leader Kim Joseph Cousins, who departed after more than a decade of service. Strategic municipal and educational partnerships with the City of Lake Elsinore and Lake Elsinore Unified School District anchor its community role, while affiliations with CalChamber, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and EDC Southern California extend its reach into regional and national advocacy.

The Chamber's core product surface includes a quarterly Visitor's Magazine distributed free in print throughout the region, an online Membership Directory, the PROPEL® registered business development program, recurring monthly networking events (Lake Elsinore NOONER, Hump Day Morning Mixer, Afterhours Business Mixer, EWDC Luncheons), ribbon cutting ceremonies, and annual fundraisers including the Salute to the Elected and the Pirate's Treasure Reverse Drawing ($10,000 grand prize). Technology infrastructure is a standard WordPress-based website with WooCommerce-enabled online ticketing and a Box Office storefront; no proprietary technology platform, APIs, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring membership dues from local SMBs, event ticket sales, tiered event sponsorship packages ranging from $200 (Coffee Cup) to $3,000 (LE AT WORK corporate), and merchandise transactions through the online box office. Distribution occurs through direct sales outreach, online self-service via the website, and walk-in/phone inquiries at the Lake Elsinore headquarters. Members receive differentiated benefits including discounted event pricing and placement in the quarterly magazine and online directory.
