The Community Development Division of the Ventura Chamber of
Commerce works to create opportunities, programs and partnerships to
improve the knowledge and commitment of Ventura’s business leaders and
citizens.
This division hosts the annual Poinsettia
Awards each December with the goal of recognizing the outstanding
achievements of businesses and individuals who make a difference in our
community.
Most
of the efforts of this division are driven through the chamber’s
Ventura Commerce and Education Foundation (VCEF).
The Ventura Commerce and Education Foundation was formed to engage
businesses in undertaking economic, educational, cultural and
environmental projects that promise to benefit Ventura and the regional
community. It is anticipated that the projects in the four key
areas – and the leadership required to manage them – will have
significant impact on the economy of the City of Ventura and the
regional community and the health of its business and education
communities. For more information about the VCEF please contact
Zoe Taylor at
zoe@ventura-chamber.org or call 805-676-7500.
VCEF collaborative programs include:
-

Principal for a Day

Coastal Marine Biolabs (CMB)

America’s Schools Program (ASP)
