- Chamber of Commerce for the city of Thousand Oaks, CA.
"The Thousand Oaks-Westlake Village Regional Chamber of Commerce is a
member-driven, professionally staffed non-profit organization dedicated to
supporting the region's business community.
The Chamber has about 1,600 business and professional firms as members,
making this chamber one of the largest in California. The strength of the
Chamber lies in its membership -- working together to make the communities
of Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village a better place to live, work and
raise a family.
Members are the backbone of the organization and make up the pool of
resources from which ideas, manpower and financial support are drawn. Its
members are small businesses, major corporations and committed
professional men and women working to ensure continued economic growth in
the area.
The Chamber acts as the voice for the business community. In business, a
single voice can often go unheard, while the collective, united voice of
the Chamber has often proven effective and beneficial to business. There
are problems and opportunities which individuals themselves cannot solve
or reach. By working with others and pooling time and resources, however,
important accomplishes are made."

"The City of Thousand Oaks, located in beautiful Ventura County, 12 miles
inland from the Pacific Ocean, is nestled against the Santa Monica
Mountains and surrounded by more than 14,800 acres of natural publicly
owned open space. This open space contains 75 miles of trails for hiking,
biking, or just leisurely walking. While this natural acreage gives our
community the best of nature, another source of pride in our community is
the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. Opened in 1994, this jewel of cultural
arts has become a beacon for our region featuring world-class
entertainment, musicals, concerts, children’s shows, ballets, and much
more. Thousand Oaks, a family-oriented community of 127, 000, is home to
excellent schools, outstanding parks, and myriad shopping opportunities,
including the largest auto mall in the nation, according to J.D. Powers
and Associates.
Incorporated in 1964, Thousand Oaks is a master planned community at its
best. City services which other communities only dream about such as a
city-owned library, teen center, senior center, cultural center, quality
infrastructure, and natural open space is due to thorough planning by the
City’s past councils and leaders."
- Friends of The Thousand Oaks Library.
"he Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library is a California-based group of
avid library advocates dedicated to enhancing the Thousand Oaks Library
with support services and intellectual and cultural programs that enrich
the lives of area residents of all ages.
The role of auxiliary library groups like the Friends has become more
critical in light of escalating budgetary constraints, and the
library-affiliated needs of a growing community.
The organization was initially founded as a committee in 1961, and later
achieved its IRS non-profit status. It continues to be run exclusively by
volunteers, some of whom have been involved for more than twenty years!"
