Economic Vitality Council (EVC)

Economic Vitality Council Quarterly Meeting

The EVC is the umbrella organization under which all Chamber-driven economic development work is conducted. It is composed of three Committees: the Business Attraction and Retention Committee, the Economic Workforce and Development Committee, and International Development Committee.

Funding for the Chamber's economic development work is made possible by the Hotel Improvement District's (HID) assessment on sold rooms. As a result, we are charged to enhance the greater Irvine business environment, help businesses grow and expand, attract new business and encourage collaboration that builds our reputation and encourages startups. The Chamber's economic development work, Committees and Task Forces attract and engage talent and expertise from the business and education communities and government and non-profit organizations as well as Chamber members.

The Committees meet monthly to review and discuss progress reports and recommendations. The Economic Vitality Council meets quarterly to share the Committee and Task Force work with Chamber membership and community
