Our Mission : The West Jefferson Hills Chamber of Commerce promotes local business development and community collaboration and endorses expanding local business in West Elizabeth , Jefferson Hills , and Pleasant Hills .
Recent Events
Due to COVID 19 pandemic the chamber has not been having the usual networking events . It is hoped that the invisible enemy will soon be controlled and we will actually be able to see one another in person again .
VETERANS DAY
A special thanks to all who have worked faithfully during this pandemic , at times putting their own health and lives at risk .
For me personally , it has allowed time to reflect on what is most essential and important things in life . I hope you too will be able to find something positive from this time of a terrible disease .
DIANE FORD
Diane Ford , who attended the focus roundtable last October , has been working for the chamber to provide administrative services .

CHAMBER COLLABORATION
Connie Ruhl , the president , of the Bethel Park Chamber and Sue Mackulin , the president of the West Jefferson Hills Chamber of Commerce would like to make available to members of both chambers the ability to participate in virtual events sponsored by either chamber . Please do not hesitate to contact the chamber with ideas , thank you .
As we continue to experience the year 2020 , unlike anything most of us have never experienced before , the chamber was unable to partner with the West Jefferson Hills School District to honor and thank our veterans . Pictured above is the President of the United States placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier . A few of the President ’ s remarks were as follows :
“ America ’ s veterans have fought to defend our country , its values and its interests since the first days of our founding ,” the president said . “ They have defeated tyrants , eliminated terrorists and secured freedom at home and abroad . Their courage and fortitude in the face of adversity serve as an example for all Americans .”
“ On Veterans Day , we pause to pay tribute to all who have proudly worn our Nation ’ s uniform ,” Trump said . “ These soldiers , sailors , airmen , Marines and Coast Guardsmen selflessly placed lives , wellbeing and security of others before their own . We enjoy the privileges of peace , prosperity and freedom because of our veterans , and we are forever indebted to them beyond measure .”
Even though many of us were not able to publicly participate in the multiple parades , ceremonies and services , on behalf of the West Jefferson Hills Chamber of Commerce , it is with deep gratitude we thank all veterans for their service to the United States of America .
To all veterans , thank you for your service .
Please let the West Jefferson Hills Chamber of Commerce know of any new businesses in our community !
