Local chambers of commerce and regional networks have been strong supporters of the California Chamber of Commerce efforts to advance policies that promote good-paying jobs and improve affordability for all Californians.
One such group in Southern California is the South Bay Association of Chambers of Commerce (SBACC), which frequently joins CalChamber advocacy coalitions to highlight legislation and regulations of significance to employers.
Chairing the SBACC for 2026 will be Jeremy Harris, president and CEO of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
The SBACC unites 15 chambers across the South Bay region that together represent more than 90,000 businesses.
The SBACC member chambers are Carson, Gardena Valley, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood Airport Area, LAX Coastal, Long Beach Area, Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Redondo Beach, San Pedro, Torrance Area, Wilmington, and El Segundo.
Since forming in 1979, SBACC has worked to build a resilient South Bay economy.
The organization “unites chambers across the South Bay around a shared purpose,” said Harris when he was installed as the 2026 chair. “When we come together to advocate for our businesses, our cities, and our region, we strengthen the entire Southern California economy.”
CalChamber looks forward to continuing its partnership with SBACC in the coming year.
