The California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian Chamber) is committed to supporting and providing resources for our small business and Asian Pacific Islander communities statewide through these unprecedented times. COVID-19 is having an enormous impact on our businesses, and the CalAsian Chamber is working hard to assess and support their needs. Below is how we've shifted our efforts to meet the needs of our small business community.

Pathways to Prosperity

Our 8-point “Pathways to Prosperity” policy agenda will establish high-level policy objectives that the CalAsian Chamber will pursue in 2020 as priority items for economic recovery, while helping position the API business community  in the state of California for a stronger and more sustainable growth in the future.
