Claremont Chamber of Commerce Promoting business through advocacy, education and access to leaders and community organizations. The Chamber's first President was George Griswold.

Since 1922 the Claremont Chamber of Commerce has been playing a major leadership role in shaping the economic and social growth of the city by encouraging residents and visitors to do business locally. Today, over 500 member businesses and individuals continue that tradition of community commitment. Through the years, the Chamber has developed unique and innovative partnerships between the city's business, civic and residential communities, all designed to develop and maintain a strong, safe and viable city. The Chamber also coordinates several of Claremont's major community events and recognizes the outstanding achievements in business by presenting prestigious annual awards. With a comprehensive range of membership benefits as well as its commitment to the community, the Claremont Chamber of Commerce has built a reputation for excellence and achievement and will continue its leadership role in the years ahead. The Claremont Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit (501 (c) (6) organization formed to represent business interests within the community. The volunteer membership invests time and money to develop programs that are relevant to members' needs and the benefit of the local community. Like many early California settlements, Claremont's first form of government was the Town Meeting. Although it had no legal sanction under California law, a constitution for the Claremont Town meeting was adopted early in the history of the town. The Town Meeting had committees on stores and the downtown commercial area, but it wasn't until December, 1908, that an association was organized with the establishment of the Claremont Board of Trade. The Board of Trade was responsible for the first City Plan and enjoyed the same status as a chamber of commerce for several years. In 1922, the Claremont Chamber of Commerce was organized after a campaign by the Los Angeles Chamber.

Could we avoid making decisions based on the partial picture and start seeing the full reality in front of us?

Better decisions begin with better questions, a willingness to challenge our assumptions, and the courage to align our choices with what matters most.

That’s why we’re excited to welcome Julia of Ride the Tide Collective to Connected Leadership LIVE on Zoom for a conversation on Realistic Reality: Making Better Decisions With the Full Picture.

📅Tuesday, October 20, 2026
⏰ 4:00–5:00pm PT

Together, we’ll explore how to:
● See the Full Picture: Recognize the assumptions and blind spots shaping our decisions.
● Take Ownership: Make intentional career choices aligned with our values and goals.
● Move Forward With Clarity: Navigate career growth and leadership with greater
confidence and purpose.

Come ready to challenge your perspective, rethink your next move, and connect with women who are building more intentional careers and leadership journeys.
