Looking back on the History of the Upland Chamber of Commerce we
noted that we were founded as early as 1910 by a group of civic minded
businessmen of the community. Many years passed and the Upland Chamber
of Commerce was Incorporated August 8, 1963. In 2003 we celebrate
our 40th Anniversary of Incorporation.
Carrying on a rich tradition of being the premiere organization
to represent our business community we currently represent over
600 business members.
The Upland Chamber of Commerce serves as the Voice of the Business
Community, a Public Relations arm of the City and Upland's "front
door" where visitors came and are greeted warmly and given information.
This information includes not only local sites and areas to visit
but also a source of information for business and residential relocation
to our City.
Leading business men and women have participated as Board of Directors,
Committee Chairs and volunteers. We have been proudly served by
25 Past Presidents, now Chairman of the Board, many of whom served
several terms of office. Our current and 26th Chairman of the Board
is serving during our 40th Anniversary Celebration. We have a board
consisting of 18 Directors who set policy and direction for the
Chamber each fiscal year and our President/CEO who implements policy
along with a qualified and dedicated staff.
As a Voice of the Business Community our Government Relations
Committee keeps a watchful eye on legislature that pertains to
business and our Economic Development Committee works closely with
the City in promoting Upland's commercial and industrial future.
