Monrovia President’s Message

Monrovia has a long, successful tradition as a business-friendly community and the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to maintaining that tradition — as it has for over 100 years.

Monrovia was a growing regional business center over a century ago and the Chamber worked hard through one decade after another as the community prospered. Today, Monrovia and the Chamber are home to hundreds of small stores, small industrial shops, professional service providers, large-sized retailers and corporations of nearly every size.

We should be extremely proud of the businesses in this community that produce some of the most technologically advanced software and equipment in the world to help shape, protect and ease our lives. Not just here in Monrovia, but all over the world people are benefiting from the great advances.

The Chamber is the eyes, ears and voice of the business community. We work daily with local and regional governments and business-related agencies to protect business interests and to keep the community healthy through a vital commercial sector.

The Chamber serves the business community through a wide variety of programs and services, from monthly mixers, networking breakfasts, ribbon-cutting ceremonies for new businesses, to marketing assistance, business expos and business recruitment which is the life blood of any prospering community.

The community as a whole benefits from the Chamber’s attention as well, through sponsorship of town meetings, legislative luncheons, candidate forums and publication of Business and Community Guides. The Chamber works closely with the City of Monrovia and the Monrovia Unified School District in a public-private partnership that has caught the attention of towns and cities across the nation.

This Community Guide is a good look at Monrovia, its people and its businesses. We hope you use this booklet to seek out and utilize the businesses and organizations that support this great community. We would also invite you to our website, www.monroviacc.com to search for any business or services you need in the future.
