The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce has been growing in recent years. Our membership is increasing year-over-year by about 100 new members. We are very pleased to welcome so many new enterprises to the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce.

At the Pasadena Chamber, we are also seeing an increasing in the number of renewing companies. Some of that can be attributed to the slow levelling off of our local economy. We also hope these renewing members are seeing increased value for their membership.

Though the deadline is only a week away, for fiscal year 2012-13, we are once again going to give a free full-color ad in our 2014 Business Directory, Community and Visitor Guide to the company that refers the most new members between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013. The ad has a sale value of $795. if you refer a new member to the Chamber, please be sure to let Kelly know by emailing kelly@pasadena-chamber.org or calling 626-795-3355. There is also a space on the memberhip application for a new member to tell us who referred them for Pasadena Chamber members.
