The Council is designed for a wide range of businesses of interests – from the corporate foundation leaders who invest in K-12 education to colleges / universities to CEO’s interested in the future of business competitiveness, to companies dedicated to the business of education. Partnerships are key to the success of any program, organization, and the community. The Southwest Valley Chamber is happy that so many are willing to partner for the success of our residents, businesses, and communities.
