Membership means something different to each of our members, and a few primary reasons businesses join include:
- Networking opportunities and relationship building with fellow business professionals
- Recognition and exposure for their business
- Impact on the community’s quality of life and business environment in the Pleasant Hill area
PHCC's dedication to membership needs is why we are over 125 members strong and growing! Each and every member adds to this strength, and the addition of new members creates more opportunities for our existing members.
