Empowering South Bay Businesses Since 1979: Advocacy, Growth, and Community

Driving Innovation and Opportunity

The South Bay Association of Chambers of Commerce (SBACC) unites 15 local chambers, serving as a powerful advocate for industries vital to our region—such as aerospace, energy, hospitality, and small businesses. By championing pro-growth policies and securing valuable resources, we help businesses thrive.
