    “On Tuesday, November 15, 2016, the United States Chamber of Commerce again awarded the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce the highest Accreditation rating available, 5 Stars, in renewing their accreditation until December 31, 2021.  In a letter to Chamber President/CEO Jill Lederer, U.S. Chamber President Thomas Donohue said ‘Many Chambers employ the Accreditation process as a way to establish organizational excellence…your Chamber went above and beyond and was awarded the 5-Star designation.  Accreditation is one of the highest honors bestowed on Chambers…this distinction honors your commitment to helping advance the principles of free enterprise – the bedrock of our great country.’
     
    Greater Conejo Valley Chamber Chairman of the Board Matthew Midura, Associate Vice-President for Integrated Marketing & Communications for Pepperdine University said, ‘On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce, I thank the United States Chamber of Commerce for recognizing our Chamber’s deep commitment to the business community in the Greater Conejo Valley.  Our Cities of Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills are steadfast partners in our work and we’re glad we can honor their excellence with our second consecutive 5-Star accreditation. We are committed to further elevating the high standards the United States Chamber recognized us for:  demonstrating quality programs, clear organizational procedures and effective communications while executing at the highest levels in the areas of governance, finance, program development, government affairs, technology, marketing & communications, benchmarking, human resources and facilities.’
     
    Only 105 of the more than 7,000 Chambers of Commerce nationwide and only 6 in California hold the elite 5-Star rating.  The Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest Chambers in the western United States, also operates the Conejo Valley Tourism Improvement District and the Greater Conejo Valley Community Foundation.  FMI, visit Conejochamber.org, the Chamber office at 600 Hampshire Rd. #200 Westlake Village, CA or call 805-370-0035.”
