Each representative will be giving a state update followed by a question and answer session for the attendees to participate in. We encourage attendees to submit their questions ahead of time by emailing hello@scvchamber.com with the subject line ‘Sacramento Update Question.’

The SCV Chamber has been working diligently with the City of Santa Clarita, County of Los Angeles, and our State and Federal Legislature to work towards a healthy business climate for the Santa Clarita Valley.
