Since 1905 · Championing Davis business
A bike-capital, farm-to-fork, university town where small business is a way of life. The businesses Davis trusts are already at this table. Join the Chamber that has championed them for 121 years.
Membership
Membership gets your business found, gets it trusted, and gives it a seat at the conversations that shape this town. It is some of the most affordable marketing and advocacy a Davis business can invest in.
Show up where Davis looks for trusted local businesses, in the directory, at the events, across the community.
Customers see Chamber members as more credible and more established, the local businesses worth choosing.
When Davis wants to buy local, it looks for the businesses that show up for the community. Membership puts you there.
One business is a voice. Hundreds of Davis businesses, speaking together, are an advocate this town listens to.
When a business belongs to its chamber, customers notice, and they choose it.
The numbers behind membership are clear, consistent, and independently measured.
In 1905, a handful of Davisville business owners formed the Chamber with a single, audacious mission: to win the new University Farm for their small railroad town. Seventy other towns wanted it too.
Davis won. That farm became UC Davis, and the decision rewrote the future of the entire region. It is the founding proof of what this Chamber has always believed, that when Davis businesses stand together, they can build something that lasts for generations.
One hundred and twenty-one years later, the work is the same: champion the businesses that make Davis, Davis.
