On behalf of our 10-person chamber team, I thank them for serving. They make everything we do possible.” The chamber, the largest in the Valley area, serves businesses in the Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills communities and oversees the Greater Conejo Valley Community Foundation and the Conejo Valley Tourism Improvement District. The year 2019 will be significant for the organization as Greater Conejo Chamber of Commerce turns 80.
