FOREVER HARD AT WORK FOR OUR COMMUNITY

As we have been since the very beginning of the global pandemic that started early last year, we at the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce remain committed to focusing all of our energy and resources on concerted efforts to help member businesses stay afloat, and to assist them in preparing for a safe, successful, and sustainable reopening of the economy. We’re also acting diligently to elevate public awareness of—and support for—small local businesses. Just some of the ways we're doing this include:

The gathering of extensive information from reputable sources on such topics as government aid programs, things to keep in mind while reopening, or strategies to keep businesses, their employees, and their customers healthy and safe. Call us or visit our website to learn more.

The setting-up of a pop-up coronavirus testing site at the Palm Springs Convention Center to help Riverside County reach the numbers it needs to move to the least restrictive tier.

The participation of CEO Nona Watson in weekly Zoom meetings dedicated to updates on the most recent state, county, valley, and city developments and regulations.

The design of various interactive, audience-driven workshops touching on education, marketing, and social media tips for businesses. The hosting of educational Zoom workshops, on various topics, designed to bring businesses directly to the experts from within our own community who can help answer questions and provide the right information to keep all of us moving forward.

Assistance to members adversely impacted by the pandemic who wish to submit applications for various grants through the Small Business Administration.

A collaboration with other local chambers to form a list of valley resources for businesses, employees, and the general public so they can all maneuver through the crisis. This includes an updated list of businesses that are open, and what services they provide.

The presentation of regular community updates on Governor Newsom’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” plan so that we can all be better prepared for each step of said plan.

The regular surveying of our members so we can stay on top of the issues that affect them. The distribution of thousands of free face coverings, hand sanitizers, and face shields to area businesses.

The transitioning of our Leads Lunches to Zoom meetings held each Tuesday at noon.

A partnership with the Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism to operate a visitors center out of our Chamber offices.

A partnership with Alpha Media on a weekly radio show promoting Palm Springs businesses that are reinventing the way they operate.

The hosting of a community blood drive at our Chamber offices.

The production and posting of videos on our social media promoting creative ways our members are adapting to this new normal.

The offering of co-working services as an alternate to those who may not have home office space. As in any emergency, the entire community is only as strong as its weakest member. Our mission here at the Chamber is to help the Coachella Valley weather these unprecedented times. We know that, together, we shall prevail and emerge greater and more resilient than ever!
