The Industry
Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1962. In January of 1970, the Chamber
was expanded to include the Industry Manufacturers Council. Augmenting
the services provided by the city government itself is the Industry
Manufacturers Council (IMC) whose members and officers are comprised
of representatives of individual firms located within the city.
Today, the Industry Manufacturers Council is a non-profit, action-oriented
professional business organization serving the needs of its members
and also providing services as a public relations agency for the City
of Industry.
In addition to the opportunity to serve their community and make the
kind of business contacts that increase profit, IMC members receive
a variety of specific benefits in exchange for their membership dues.
These include a membership plaque, free listing in the IMC Business
Directory; invitations to IMC-sponsored executive luncheons highlighted
by speakers of general and business interest like D. Joyce Brothers,
Athlete Bruce Jenner and Coach Jerry Tarkanian; seminars and conferences;
a copy of the monthly City of Industry News; wage and salary data upon
request; a City of Industry Map; economic and demographic information;
statistical research on business in general and the City of Industry
specifically. Additionally, membership in a commercial credit union
is available.
