L.A. South is a Proud DEI Organization!

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are foundational principles that foster innovation, creativity, and resilience in any organization or community. Embracing DEI enriches perspectives by bringing together individuals with varied backgrounds, experiences, and identities. This diversity sparks dynamic discussions and enables unique problem-solving approaches, ultimately leading to more innovative solutions. Moreover, DEI ensures fairness and equal opportunities for all members, creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute their best.

​We promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability.

"Networking is the identification and building of relationships for the purpose of sharing information, opportunities, and resources (with emphasis on building relationships and sharing). Why is networking important? Networking is important because all of life is about relationships. All of life is about working with and serving others."  
​Dr. George Fraser

The Los Angeles South Chamber of Commerce (LASCC) is a non profit 501(c)(6) 
organization, that serves as the voice of business in the South L.A. and South Bay communities. The L.A. South Chamber was founded in 2016 by local small businesses and community stakeholders in South Los Angeles, CA. We offer platforms of services to build business relationships, and create economic growth in our service areas. LASCC is funded through membership dues, private donations, fundraisers, and sponsorships.

LASCC serves Four (4) South L.A. City Council Districts (8, 9,10, &15)
​(See Maps), and Two (2) South L.A. County Supervisorial Districts, Second(2nd) 
CLICK Here for Map 1, Map 2 , and Fourth (4th) District Click Here for Map , along with two Service Planning Areas (SPA) 6 & 8 (See Map here). 


Our Mission is to Create, Develop, and Sustain self reliant communities along with economic growth in underserved & marginalized communities through small business development, entrepreneurship, advocacy, community engagement, financial literacy, health & wellness education. 

The L.A. South Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to serving as a catalyst for positive change and growth within the South Los Angeles community. Through our commitment to excellence, we provide avenues for networking, training, and program development, empowering businesses and individuals to thrive. We actively engage in influencing public policy and advocating legislative issues that enhance the quality of life for all residents. Our mission is to foster a vibrant and inclusive community where businesses flourish, opportunities abound, and every voice is heard.

Our primary goal is to ensure the "Best Experience" for our members. We achieve this by offering outstanding programs, hosting productive events, and providing sustainable resources that meet the diverse needs of our members. Through continuous improvement and innovation, we strive to exceed expectations and deliver value at every opportunity.

A Chamber of Commerce membership is a proven investment to grow your business, provide a competitive edge, and improve the quality of life within your local community. The Los Angeles South Chamber of Commerce (LASCC) Members will benefit from several programs and resources throughout the year. We are an active Chamber of Commerce, with a business model of Cooperative Economics and Collaborations. We understand the value of working together for a mutual benefit, in order to better serve our members and community. 

The L.A. South Chamber (4) delivery platforms are;
Business Development, Networking, Advocacy, and Community (HOPE).


Networking
The LASCC provides numerous opportunities for members to increase their contact base, community presence, and prospective customers, through various monthly networking events, programs, and community initiatives (HOPE). In addition, the LASCC is dedicated to success of our Members by utilizing and referring their products and services through our Membership Directory and Monthly Newsletter (L.A. South Connections).

Business Development  
The LASCC helps new and established business owners stay ahead of the curve, remain competitive, and increase their bottom line. Every month, Members may take advantage of our numerous small business development classes, roundtables, and business updates at a minimal or no charge with topics ranging from access to capital, marketing, taxes to small business financing. Learn how to start, grow, scale, and sustain your small business through LASCC Small Business Services, Empowering Your Business (EYB) Cohort, Member Certified Training, and Monthly Webinars. We also partner with Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at El Camino College, Pacific Coast Regional (PCR), the L.A. County A.C. Bilbrew Library, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and L.A. City & L.A. County Economic Development Divisions. 

Advocacy
Members will have access to elected officials, government agencies, and law enforcement in the City and County of Los Angeles through our monthly Roundtable Discussions, Public Policy, Safety, and Environmental initiatives. The LASCC lobbies City, County, and State officials for laws and regulations that are favorable to small businesses and residents in South L.A. communities.
The LA South Advocates for Small Businesses, and serves as a platform to build business relationships. Many businesses in South L.A. are not connected to their local 
government representatives, neighboring businesses, or community stakeholders. 
Fostering new relationships creates unlimited opportunities to grow a business. 



Community Engagement - #HOPE - Helping Other People Everyday
LA South HOPE Foundation is our community outreach to connect resources, products, and services to South L.A. residents, small businesses, and entrepreneurs, in order to foster better relationships, and help residents along with small businesses become self reliant, sustainable, and to thrive. Therefore, our HOPE (Helping other People Everyday) programs offers support to community residents, local businesses, and aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to start their own business. 

Our Chamber Ambassadors are Volunteers/Apprenticeships (i.e. Students, Retirees,
and Community Stakeholders) selected by the LASCC Board of Directors to support HOPE community initiatives, membership campaigns, and act as public relations liaisons.


Small Business is the backbone of our local economy, and we admire those with the 
courage to live their dream through business ownership.

Thank you for connecting with us!
