The ranking, based on data collected by the Phoenix Business Journal for "The List" and they use key metrics including member count, local employment impact, operating budget, leadership, and founding year.

Unlike traditional chambers, the Northwest Valley Chamber of Commerceoperates under a Government-Free Guarantee—refusing all government funding and excluding elected officials/staff from its governing board. This ensures that every policy stance and advocacy effort is 100% focused on the needs of local businesses, free from political influence.

The urgency is real: Small businesses shoulder 82% of the cost of major federal regulations, totaling over $40 billion—not including additional state and local mandates. NVCC’s advocacy is built to fight back.

“We don’t just talk about supporting small businesses—we fight for them,” added Raoul Sada, president and CEO. “Our independence gives us the freedom to act boldly, speak truthfully, and serve fearlessly.”As the Northwest Valley Chamber expands its footprint across the West Valley—including Surprise, Avondale, and Goodyear—it invites startups, entrepreneurs, and established businesses to join a chamber that’s rewriting the rules and putting business first.
