A chamber of commerce is a voluntary partnership of businesses and professionals working together to build a healthy economy and improve the quality of life in a community.

In most cases, Chambers work with their local government (mayor, city council, city staff and local representatives) to develop pro-business initiatives. Chambers are private, member run associations, whereas cities are public organizations run by a city council elected by the voters within their jurisdiction.

The goal of the Lomita Chamber is to help further the interests of businesses in the local area.

Chamber activities range from hosting business events, to working with local representatives, to charitable efforts for the betterment of the community.
