Service to Members
Since 1923 the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce's first
goal has always been the same volunteer business people joined together
to improve the business climate in our community. Members of the
Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce enjoy benefits and services
unique to Chamber membership.

The Chamber sponsors events throughout the year to bring the businesses
and the community together in an effort to increase the visibility
of the area and your business. The events, such as the Chamber Art
Walks, The Annual Golf Classic, Memorial Day Service, Oktoberfest
and the Christmas Parade, offer members an opportunity to sponsor
education scholarships and other programs for local youth groups
through cooperative advertising.

in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They are open to the entire
community and provide a place to socialize as well.
