Welcome to
THE OAKLAND METROPOLITAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Founded more than one hundred years ago, the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce remains one of the most influential forces in local government and regional economic development. The mission of the Chamber is to secure the economic future of our community, and to enhance the quality of life in the city of Oakland.
With some 1,000 members, the Chamber is actively involved in public policy and provides valuable resources to members.
Leadership Oakland has been preparing future leaders in our community for 35 years. A key part of our success is the personal connections made between classmates of each year’s cohort as well as with the many community leaders and elected officials that so graciously give their time to the program. Applications for the 23/24 class of Leadership Oakland can be found here.
