BUSINESS COUNCILS

As the third largest city in Los Angeles County, the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce represents over 65,000-member workforce. We realized we can better serve our business community by having six Business Councils, allowing members to work on issues specific to their area. Our Councils provide a channel for our members to be involved in solving problems, discussing issues, and implementing special projects and events for the benefit of the area being served. Participation offers members the opportunity to prioritize and bring a focus to the business needs of the area, and to take community leadership roles in addressing these needs. It can increase members’ business network, and provide stronger representation on area issues. Also, since area councils exist as industry-specific, participation provides an opportunity for area-specific networking with others doing business.

LATINO BUSINESS ALLIANCE BLACK BUSINESS COUNCIL

Our LBA council works to promote Latinoowned business as well as relevant issues facing our Latino business community. In addition the LBA helps to educate businesses on how to enhance a company’s business efforts with Latino customers and other Latinoowned businesses.

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

The Government Affairs council meets to discuss policy decisions on a local, county, state and federal level. As a member, you are encouraged to attend a meeting and have your voice heard throughout the SCV and take a stance on pertinent issues relative to the business community or your industry in particular.

SMALL BUSINESS

Small Businesses are at the core of our Chamber’s membership and are the backbone of our economy. The Chamber offers a variety of educational and networking programming to help your small business thrive. The council focuses on three main objectives: Advises the SCV Chamber on small business related issues, programming and networking opportunities; Supports the Chambe’s “Retail Walks” with elected officials; and helps promote the nationwide “Small Business Saturday” program which highlights small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Our Black Business Council works to inspire, empower, and promote the economic growth and sustainability of black businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals within the Santa Clarita Valley. In addition it serves as a catalyst for engagement, awareness building and consultation; eliminate barriers to opportunities and addresses issues unique to black owned businesses, professionals, and their families.

NON-PROFIT COUNCIL

The SCV has a strong philanthropic community with more than 100 locally-based nonprofit organizations that help our community thrive. Our non-profits are a key reason why Santa Clarita is a great community and always looking towards a better future. The council provides business resources for our local non-profit leaders to help them connect, grow and learn about valuable information so they can successfully meet their organizations mission and goals.

NEXTSCV

NextSCV is our next generation of leaders and the group aims to develop the next leaders of the Santa Clarita Valley through personal and professional development, civic engagement, and network building opportunities that ultimately stimulate local businesses and support the mission of the SCV Chamber.

Triscenic Production Services

Triscenic Production Services, was formed as an alliance between a few DGA Stage Directors working at KCAL — TV9 in Los Angeles during the mid 1980’s. They discovered a viable need to store sets for the station. Taking a leap of faith, was the first member of the newly formed company to leave KCAL to advance and promote Triscenic on a fulltime basis. As their client base increased, Vince created an alpha-numeric system for organized set storage and transportation tracking. This system would become the standard for the industry. Eventually, the other team members departed KCAL to join Vince at their first warehouse facility, fulltime.

Vince developed, nurtured, and secured relationships with key studio production contacts which led to providing services for Warner Bros. and Disney, among others. With impressive growth yearover-year and Triscenic becoming the industry leader in set storage and production logistics, the leap of faith has worked out better than anyone could have imagined.

Today, Vince has acquired 100% ownership of Triscenic. With a footprint of 1.5 million sq ft of dedicated production space, Triscenic provides full end-to-end production services for series, feature films, commercials, and music videos.

Services include Set Storage and Transportation, Sound Stages, Set Dec Lock-up
