Redlands Chamber of Commerce

What Redlands Chamber of Commerce does

Redlands Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit, membership-based business organization founded in 1893 and headquartered at 47 N. 1st St., Redlands, California. It serves local businesses, employers, and job seekers across Redlands, San Bernardino County, and the broader Inland Empire region. The organization provides advocacy and legislative representation, networking events (including monthly Chamber Mixer and Rise & Shine programs), signature annual events (Civic Awards Dinner, State of the City, NYE Orange Drop, Dog Jog, Cocktail Competition, Legislative Forum), tiered membership (standard plus President's Circle at $1,750-$2,900/year), and business services such as Certificate of Origin issuance, map sponsorship, and member e-blast marketing.

The chamber operates a workforce development program that includes a job board with 37 active listings, the New Beginnings program for homeless employment services, NextGen Ready youth workforce initiatives, WIOA services, and On-The-Job Training. Its underlying technology stack is a standard chamber operations platform: the main e-commerce and membership site runs on WooCommerce with Woo Payments, the workforce career site is powered by Teamtailor as an applicant tracking system with LinkedIn single sign-on, and Google Analytics is used for web analytics.

The revenue model combines recurring annual membership dues (including premium President's Circle tiers), one-time event ticket sales, multi-tier event sponsorships (ranging from $250 supporter levels to $20,000 presenting sponsors), job fair sponsorships, workforce development program fees, and ancillary merchandise and certificate sales. Go-to-market is event-driven and community-led: regular networking events serve as the primary member acquisition and retention mechanism, supplemented by direct sales for premium membership tiers and self-service online registration for events and tickets.

Emerging players

• Alignable: Digital small business networking platform that addresses the same local business connection and visibility pain points the chamber serves, but through an online, non-membership model and broader geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Yucaipa Chamber of Commerce: Direct peer chamber serving businesses in nearby Yucaipa, CA, with the same membership, events, and local advocacy value proposition in the Inland Empire region.
• Highland Area Chamber of Commerce: Direct peer as a smaller neighboring San Bernardino County chamber providing overlapping membership, networking, and community advocacy services to local businesses.
• Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce: Direct peer as a neighboring Inland Empire city chamber offering the same membership, advocacy, networking events, and workforce services to local businesses in Riverside, CA.
• Ontario Chamber of Commerce: Direct peer running an analogous local chamber model for businesses in Ontario, CA, including membership programs, networking mixers, and economic development advocacy.
• San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce: Direct peer operating the same chamber model (membership tiers, signature events, advocacy) for businesses in San Bernardino, the adjacent county seat and largest Inland Empire city.

Regional players

• Inland Empire Regional Chamber of Commerce: Regional chamber that competes partly in the same Inland Empire geography, offering broader regional networking and advocacy across San Bernardino and Riverside counties rather than a single city.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Chamber of Commerce: National-level chamber of commerce that Redlands is a member of. Provides national advocacy, resources, and credibility to local affiliates, with broader scope and different audience than a city chamber.
• California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber): Broader state-level chamber that the Redlands Chamber is affiliated with and that recognized it as 2025 Chamber of the Year. Operates overlapping advocacy, policy, and event services at state scale rather than local niche.

Others

• San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board: Public-sector workforce intermediary that overlaps with the chamber's workforce development and WIOA programs in the same Inland Empire geography. A partner and partial substitute for employer recruitment services.
