The Chico Chamber has three primary areas of focus for 2022
- Support and advocate on behalf of business in the recruitment and retention of employees.
- Actively engage with our community to support positive solutions aimed at addressing and reducing the impact of homelessness with the business community.
- Strengthen the relationship with the City of Chico through a positive partnership to provide greater accountability and more transparency on city priorities.
We listened to local businesses and their concerns with the current business climate to create these three priorities for our 2022 Scope of Work.
Our 2022 Action Plan to move the needle on these concerns:
1. Recruitment and Retention
2. Impact of Homelessness
3. Strengthen the Relationship with the City
- Participate in and help facilitate various labor pool related informational meetings, trainings, and programs to connect businesses with the resources they need for staffing.
- Direct projects like Choose Chico to encourage employees and employers to come to Chico.
- Support housing developments and initiatives to create more available housing for staff to relocate to Chico.
2. Impact of Homelessness
- Educate the public on the homeless shelter availability as well as updates on the lawsuit.
- Share information with our businesses regarding the resources available to them.
- Continue to cultivate our close relationship with the Chico PD.
3. Strengthen the Relationship with the City
- Collaborate closely with City of Chico staff, to include but not limited to, City Manager, Deputy City Manager, City Council, the Mayor, and more.
- Have open and candid communications with the City of Chico on topics that affect our local businesses.
- Work closely with the City for Economic Development initiatives, such as Team Chico.
