CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE We are pleased to present you with this 2016 edition of The Guide and CORONA Chamber Business Directory. As Chairman of the Board for 2016, I am excited about the great year we have before us. The economy is getting stronger, especially in CORONA, where our unemployment rate is among the lowest in the state, commercial and industrial real estate is boasting a 3% vacancy rate, and our school district ranks among the best in the entire nation. This directory is full of outstanding companies that can assist you with just about anything you need. As a business owner myself, I am proud to be associated with the excellent companies in this directory who call CORONA their home. We at the CORONA Chamber strive to support our businesses with ongoing training, support and advocacy to do our part to insure that each one is successful through education and high standards of ethical conduct. I would like to thank our advertisers and assure you that the CORONA Chamber is here to help you however we can. If this is your first year to advertise, I hope you find it to be a great decision. If you’re a repeat advertiser, you KNOW it’s a great decision and I welcome you back again. As we move through 2016, we will elect a new U.S. President and many other officials on the city, county, state and national levels. We at the Chamber do our best to watch what’s happening in the political arena and how it affects our businesses and keep you abreast of the things we believe are the most important in helping you to run a successful enterprise in The Golden State. If you are new to the Chamber, your company information will be added to our online directory and there will be other opportunities to advertise this year if you’re interested, so stay tuned! OUR MISSION STATEMENT The CORONA Chamber of Commerce promotes business, advocacy, community and economic development, while serving as a catalyst for improving the overall quality of life in our community and region. As a 13-year member of the CORONA Chamber, I’ve seen first-hand how supportive this chamber is of not only my business, but all businesses in CORONA and the surrounding area. Through my exposure to events and activities as a Chamber member, my business has grown and been recognized in ways that never could have happened outside of Chamber membership. The contacts you will make with other businesses, elected officials and organizations will increase your sphere of influence dramatically and help you to become very well connected in tangible ways. As a result, your business will win and the great City of CORONA will win as well. We want to encourage you to reach out to us at The Chamber to assist you in any way. The all-volunteer board is comprised of over 20 business leaders with a wealth of experience and expertise in a wide range of topics. We are here to serve you in any way we can. Our goal is to preserve the legacy of CORONA as the premier place to live, work and play.
