Chair's Message

Massis Chahbazian
Chair of the Board
President and CEO, The Printery
As the Chairman of the Board for the Irvine Chamber of Commerce for 2010-2011, I am honored to serve this fine organization. Many folks who have served as Chair in previous years have helped build this organization into one that is known world wide for its many attributes. I too, will do my very best to see that the leadership of the Irvine Chamber of Commerce leads the membership and the community in a direction that we as a group feel we will be most effective.
I have run my own business in Irvine since 1989, and I know as a 20-year Chamber member, the benefits of membership have paid my business back multi-fold, and I find myself now offering my services to the Chamber in return for all we have benefited as a company. I encourage participation and education within the Chamber to all who find a desire to enhance, build and better one's business. From business and economic development, to the various committees within the Chamber, we find ourselves moving closer to the goals set forth by the Committee Vice-Chairs and organizers who so graciously volunteer their time to benefit local businesses and the Irvine community.
Today we find ourselves so busy within our own businesses that we sometimes forget that we are interdependent among all the local businesses that make Irvine flourish. As a group, we find ourselves manifesting business even better by working together toward common goals and interaction with local agencies and fellow area chambers of commerce. Some of the highlights of our Chamber include the following events and functions:
- Ribbon Cuttings for new and changing businesses
- Network OC
- Emerging Professionals
- Networkers Luncheons
- Business After Hours
- Business Outlook
- Business Breakfast with the Mayor
- Town Hall Meetings
Many other functions can be found in the Calendar section of the website, as well as dates and times for committee meetings that you might find interesting, and you are more than welcome to attend any of them. Feel welcome to come to the Chamber offices and work with the great staff, they will guide you to any information you might like.
I look forward to personally meeting you in the near future, please feel free to contact me anytime if you would like to discuss any interests you may have with the Irvine Chamber of Commerce.
In good health and fair business,
Massis Chahbazian
