Chamber Welcome

On behalf of the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce organization, I welcome new businesses, future residents and visitors to our beautiful and dynamic region.

The Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce (LVCC) proudly represents its members, providing leadership to support economic vitality in the region for more than 80 years. LVCC is a catalyst for business growth; a convener of leaders and influencers to get things done; and a champion for a thriving community. Incorporated in May 1937, the Chamber supports its members with education, advocacy, marketing tools and a network of key connections for a sustainable and successful economy.

The Livermore Valley is located in the Tri-Valley region of eastern Alameda County. It lies along the I-580/Altamont highway and rail gateway corridor connecting the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area region with the Central Valley and the rest of California. It is situated within about a one-hour drive to major metropolitan areas including Oakland, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, the San Mateo Peninsula and Napa Valley. LVCC is located within the city of Livermore and its nearby neighbors are the cities of Pleasanton and Dublin. This strategic location makes the Livermore Valley an attractive draw for business.

Chamber members represent private businesses, public and private-public agencies, nonprofit organizations and individuals. Small businesses and the largest employers in the Livermore Valley are LVCC members. Two national laboratories, large health care network systems, educational institutions, manufacturers, wineries, ranchers, hotels, restaurants and retail, high- and low-tech, startups, and new and established businesses make up our membership roster.

LVCC membership is a partnership, strengthening the bonds between business, government and the greater community and creating a Livermore Valley that is an amazing place to live, work, visit and to do business. I invite you to discover the benefits of being a member of LVCC.

Chamber History

The Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce enjoys a long legacy of business leadership in the local community. Records show that the Livermore Chamber of Commerce was in existence at least as early as 1926. However, it wasn’t until 1937 that the Chamber filed its articles of incorporation with the office of the California Secretary of State. Since then, the Chamber has been operated by professional staff with oversight and guidance provided by an elected board of directors.

In 2011, the Livermore Chamber of Commerce board of directors approved changing the name of the organization to the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce, reflecting the reach of the organization beyond city limits. Over more than 88 years, diverse business interests have been reflected in the Chamber’s leadership, with a distinguished list of men
and women chairing its board of directors since 1932.

Government

The City of Livermore is a great place to live, work and visit. Livermore residents consistently rate the city’s quality of life as “excellent” or “good” in a National Community Survey. With a focus on public safety, economic vitality, open spaces and conservation, Livermore is a great place to thrive and grow.

The city, officially incorporated in 1876, is a full-service city that operates under the council manager form of government. The mayor is elected at-large, and city council seats are elected by district.

The mayor serves a two-year term and council members serve four-year terms. The city manager is appointed by the council and serves as the chief executive officer responsible for day-to-day administration of city affairs and implementation of city policies. The city council meets at 7 p.m. the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the council chamber located at 1016 South Livermore Ave. All council meetings are open to the public, and meetings are also broadcast on Tri-Valley Community Television and streamed at www.tri-valIevtv.org.

The City of Livermore organization includes traditional departments such as police, public works, administrative services and community development. It also boasts an Office of Innovation & Economic Development and a municipal airport. The Livermore Public Library is a municipal department as well, and the city shares its fire services with neighboring city Pleasanton. The community’s public school district, the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, is a separate governmental agency, as is the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District.

Customer service is a core city value supporting residents and businesses. A one-stop streamlined permit process allows customers to easily obtain permits, answers and approvals. The city’s website, www.LivermoreCA.gov, increasingly offers online options to handle licenses, payments and more.

Over 30 years of consecutive awards from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada illustrate the city’s commitment to budget transparency. 2025 marks 43 consecutive years of clean audit opinions on the city’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, demonstrating a pledge to exceptional financial stewardship.

The Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK) has operated for over 60 years as a vital general aviation reliever airport, handling more than 180,000 operations annually.
It supports jobs, reinvestment and emergency response while hosting more than 400 tenants, businesses and government agencies. LVK attracts visitors from across the United States and internationally and serves major corporations like Costco, Chevron, and Sandia Labs. With six flight schools, it plays a key role in pilot training and strengthens the region’s aviation and business sectors.

Public safety is a community priority. Half of the city’s general fund budget supports police and fire personnel, equipment and supplies, making the city a very safe place to live and do business. The Livermore Police Department is a full-service law enforcement agency with a range of services and educational programs. Its long-standing Community Police Academy remains a popular program that creates more community volunteers each year, and the department also offers a summer youth academy for Livermore youth ages 13-17. Yearly events, such as the Halloween Trunk-or-Treat, successfully connect city employees with Livermore families and youth.

The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department is an all-risk emergency response and community service organization. LPFD’s goals are to limit the risk of fire, to limit injury and property damage associated with fire, explosions, hazardous materials incidents, storms or other natural and technological emergencies; to prepare city forces for disaster response, and to better prepare the community for self-help in the event of a major disaster.

THE NATIONAL LABORATORIES

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: Science and Technology on a Mission

For more than 70 years, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL’s) mission has been to enable U.S. security and global stability and resilience by empowering multidisciplinary teams to pursue bold and innovative science and technology. LLNL’s primary mission focus areas include nuclear deterrence, threat preparedness and response, energy security and multi-domain deterrence.

To conduct science on a grand scale, LLNL requires cutting edge computational and experimental tools and state-of-the-art research facilities. It is home to some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. The El Capitan supercomputer’s unprecedented exascale power contributes to LLNL, Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories’ efforts to ensure the safety, security and reliability of the nation’s nuclear stockpile without underground nuclear testing. It also is used to support work that provides the nation with a competitive edge in complex high-fidelity modeling and simulation, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning codes that can be applied to national security, materials discovery and inertial confinement fusion.

LLNL is a leader in high energy density science, which is the study of matter under extreme states of density and pressure. LLNL’s premier facility for this activity is the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the world’s largest and most energetic laser. It is used to support fusion research for national security, energy and basic science. NIF also is the first facility of its kind to achieve fusion ignition—creating more energy from a fusion reaction than the energy used to start the process.

LLNL’s annual budget exceeds $3B, and it employs more than 9,000 personnel across a broad spectrum of disciplines and skill sets. LLNL’s Discovery Center ([email protected]) is open to the public M-F from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. The center’s family friendly hands-on displays and exhibits highlight the work of the laboratory. LLNL also offers community tours (llnl.gov/communitytours) of its laboratory site, and virtual tours and videos (virtualtours.llnl.gov) of some of its key programs and facilities.

Sandia National Laboratories:
Exceptional Service in the National Interest

Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore was established in 1956, and combined with its Albuquerque, New Mexico, location, is the largest US. Department of Energy national security research facility. Sandia California employs almost 2,000 staff members and contractors, post-doctoral fellows and students who share the goal of applying science and technology to create a more peaceful and secure world.

Sandia grew out of the Manhattan Project. Maintaining the safety, security and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile remain the foundation of its work. The Labs provide crucial systems engineering capabilities to its sister laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Building on this core scientific knowledge, Sandia California cultivates multiple capabilities in bioscience, cybersecurity, materials science, engineering and systems analysis to anticipate and respond to the evolving national security landscape, accelerating innovation in all that they do. Today, its missions span many national security needs, including areas such as homeland security, transportation energy and bioscience.

Examples of work at Sandia California include the following:

•  Researchers at Sandia have created a platform for discovering, designing and engineering novel antibody countermeasures for emerging viruses. This new process of screening for nanobodies that “neutralize,” or disable the virus, represents a faster, more effective approach to developing nanobody therapies that prevent or treat viral infection.

•  Sandia’s innovation, Electronic Polymer Dosimeter for Radiotherapy, is a new embedded electrode structure that can enable enhanced electronic sensing for medical diagnostic and curative measures. Dosimetry is a crucial element of radiation therapy, as it determines the amount of energy delivered to tissues during cancer treatments. Successful treatments require precise 3D evaluation of dose through measurements, modeling, and calculation to minimize damage to healthy tissue while delivering the correct therapeutic dose to tumors. Next Gen Dosimetry is a novel, highly accurate approach to radiation dosimetry therapeutic particle beams. The concept is a disposable adhesive patch, applied directly to a patient’s skin, to precisely measure radiation intensity and spatial distribution at the points of entry in real time. This approach eliminates uncertainties present in current therapies.

•  The Fentanyl Analog Independent Detection sensor developed at Sandia allows first responders, law enforcement, and warfighters to detect fentanyl and fentanyl analogs—including unknown and novel analogs—at trace levels before the materials can cause them, or the public, harm. The user collects an environmental sample using a metal felt swipe. Once the swipe interrogates a surface, such as the outside of a suspicious package, it is inserted into the portable instrument where it is rapidly heated. This rapid heating causes the fentanyl material and cutting agents captured on the swipe to thermally-fragment, and these fragments are then drawn into the core analytical system. This high-sensitivity detection can even be done when the fentanyls are in the presence of common cutting agents and environmental interferents.

•  Ducted fuel injection (DFI) is a portfolio of patented and patent-pending technology invented at Sandia California’s Combustion Research Facility, that enhances engine combustion and lowers soot emissions, while potentially enabling higher operating efficiency. This technology was designed to overcome the soot-NOx (nitrogen oxide) tradeoff, a longstanding barrier to improved diesel engine emissions. DFI enables soot emissions to be dramatically lowered, without increasing NOx emissions.

Although Sandia is a federally funded research and development center committed to meeting the nation’s security needs, it also welcomes commercial and business partnership opportunities. Sandia already collaborates with private companies, universities and state and government agencies and is actively looking to find more partners.

Sandia National Laboratories is operated and managed by National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc., which operates the Labs as a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Sandia maintains major research and development capabilities in nuclear deterrence, global security, defense, energy technologies and economic competitiveness, with primary facilities in Albuquerque and Livermore.

Livermore Valley Wine Country

THE BAY AREA’S AWARD-WINNING WINE REGION

Visitors are sometimes surprised to find a flourishing expanse of vineyards and wineries less than an hour to the east of San Francisco: Livermore Valley Wine Country. Sharing the picturesque canyons and ridges of the area with outposts of suburbia, the welcoming sight of vines and tasting rooms define the quality of life in the Livermore Valley. To the delight of residents and visitors alike, the region continues to experience a wine renaissance harking back to the golden years of early California wine history.

The Livermore Valley is one of California’s oldest wine regions and played a pivotal role in shaping California’s wine industry. Robert Livermore planted the first commercial vines in the 1840s. Pioneer winemakers C. H. Wente, James Concannon and Charles Wetmore recognized the area’s winegrowing potential and founded their wineries in the early 1880s. International recognition followed when Livermore Valley captured America’s first international gold medal for wine in 1889 at the Paris Exposition, putting California on the world wine map.

Attracted to the rich winemaking tradition, climate, soil and geography, new vintners and winegrowers work alongside seventh-generation winegrowers creating a Livermore Valley wine renaissance. Wineries vary in size from limited-release, 100-case labors of love to 400,000-case industry heavyweights, and grapes range from familiar cabernet and Chardonnay, their Signature Varietals Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, to Italian, Rhone and Spanish varieties. The award-winning wines of the Livermore Valley can be found around the globe.

The Livermore Valley Wine Community invites Bay Area residents and visitors to experience their wine country at the wineries or at one of multiple region-wide events. Such as their signature event “TASTE: The Livermore Valley Wine Experience, “ a food and wine pairing competition held in October, and at “Uncorked!” which showcases the finest wines from the Livermore Valley American Viticultural Area. Contact the Livermore Valley Wine Community for tickets and more information about these events and the wineries at (925) 447- WINE (9463) or www.LVwine.org.
