Five Things The Chamber Did For Your Business: November 18 – November 22, 2024

At the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce, we strive to be a catalyst for business growth, a convener of leaders and influencers, and a champion for a stronger community. Every week, we work tirelessly to support local businesses, celebrate achievements, and build meaningful connections that move our region forward. This past week was no exception! Here are Five Things The Chamber Did For Your Business This Past Week:

1. Received a Proclamation for Small Business Saturday
We proudly attended the Murrieta City Council meeting, where the Chamber was honored with a proclamation recognizing Small Business Saturday. This annual initiative emphasizes the importance of supporting small, local businesses, which are the backbone of our economy. We’re thrilled to help amplify this message as we encourage the community to shop small and make a big impact! Click here to participate in our 2024 Shop Small Campaign!
