Coronavirus (COVID-19)
As the coronavirus continues to spread both globally, and within the United States, the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce is here for you. At the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce, the health and well-being of our membership, community and staff is our top priority. We understand the concern and uncertainty you may be experiencing surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and are committed to being responsive to the needs of our membership, community and staff.
The Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce will be postponing all meetings and events until further notice. We understand that this may cause some inconveniences. However, we want to make sure we are good stewards of our membership, community and staff. We feel that these measures are in the best interest of all involved at this time.
The US Chamber of Commerce’s CEO, Mr. Tom Donohue, stated “While concerns are certainly understandable, America’s response must be grounded in facts, not driven by fear. Now is the time to listen to experts, to stay informed, and to take reasonable measures to prepare. Now is not the time to panic”.
