The event began with an open networking session, where attendees had the opportunity to meet Chamber members, the Board of Directors, and fellow business professionals interested in learning more about the organization and its role in the Beverly Hills business community.
At 6:00 p.m., the official presentation commenced with remarks from Chamber leadership and staff, each highlighting the resources, opportunities, and support available to businesses through Chamber membership.

Each speaker discussed how their respective departments support member visibility, strategic growth, marketing opportunities, and business connections.
Several members of the Chamber’s Board of Directors also shared personal perspectives on the impact of Chamber involvement within their industries. Speakers included businesswoman Bobbe Joy Dawson, former two-time Beverly Hills Mayor Julian Gold, Vice President at East West Bank David Haimovitz, and Dr. Violet Zahedi. Each discussed how Chamber membership has supported their professional goals and expanded opportunities for their companies through relationship-building and community engagement.
Following the presentation, guests were invited to the Chamber’s rooftop for an evening reception featuring small bites, cocktails, wine, and other beverages. As attendees networked and continued conversations with Chamber representatives and members, a sunset over Beverly Hills was the perfect backdrop for the gathering.
