Chamber
History

There are 2 photos that tell it all. One is a black & white photo of the Berkeley Chamber Board taken in the early 1900's. It is a very formal picture of all white males in suits. Not even a smile!

Then there is a picture of the Berkeley Chamber turning 100. The event was at the Claremont hotel ballroom. We had a very large cake with many candles  (not a 100 or we would have set the place on fire!)  Notice that there were many women and men in colorful clothes and all smiling.

Where do we go from here? Up, up and away was the theme of our 2009 Annual Dinner, and to continue moving in that direction! Up and forward -- working towards a representative chamber where all businesses are represented.
