About the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce

We are excited to tell you more about the historical City of Palm Desert and the Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce. Incepted in 1954, the Chamber has existed in place longer than the city of Palm Desert. The founders of this Chamber understood the importance of providing support to a new and growing area.

Likewise, we understand the importance today of serving the Area and its Business Community in today’s business environment, with all of it’s opportunities and challenges.

Palm Desert is the center of the Retail world in the Coachella Valley and the Chamber is here to support that business community. Small businesses are the life blood of Palm Desert and we exist to provide service and value to them.

The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce proudly represents a membership that not only spans the entire Coachella Valley, but Riverside, Imperial, Orange and San Diego counties as well. We strive for excellence. We are committed to offering premium services, programs, signature events, and monthly events that provide value to our members and our community at large. Stay updated at our website pdacc.org that highlights upcoming events and activities.

May you live, love and play well in the Coachella Valley as you engage in this vibrant community.

We are a nonprofit membership organization whose members are local businesses invested in developing their business and its people, growing our economy, and strengthening our community. We work with our members to invest in a broad range of initiatives that support Palm Desert, being the best place to live, work, play and do business.

We are an independent organization. While we work closely with our community partners, we are not a part of the City of Palm Desert. We are a nonprofit organization funded by membership investment from local businesses. Like most professional and trade associations, we are categorized as a non-tax-exempt 501(c)(6) organization.

The Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce is governed exclusively by our local board of directors and is run by professional staff who work to serve and advance the interest of our members.
