​Mission Statement

Overall Objective
​
One of the primary goals of the GSVACC in the long run is to develop the local Vietnamese community by helping develop the connections and business pathways in Little Saigon. By “Paying It Forward” and investing effort, energy, and resources in order to build a strong business community in South Sacramento and specifically in the newly nationally recognized “Little Saigon”, GSVACC is committed to making a very significant difference in this community. Volunteers and business members can directly and indirectly benefit as a result of helping and supporting the goals of local businesses and individual business owners. We strive to be able to pull together talented individuals and businesses that want to make a significant positive difference in the Vietnamese community. By working together and creating a resource for the Vietnamese Asian community, the net effect could help those involved in this endeavor directly grow their own business while having a lasting impact on this community.

The Chamber serves as an advocate for its members on public policy and legislative issues that impact the business community at local, state, and federal levels. GSVACC serves as a liaison and bridges the communication line with elected leaders and policy makers. As an integral partner and stakeholder in the community, GSVACC participates in and offers input on regional issues such as education, human relations, environment, cultural, and governmental affairs.

We also provide Round Table Discussions on topics that are important to members. Topic related guests and practitioners will be invited to participate in discussion and identify solutions.
