The Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce brought together members of the local business community, residents, civic leaders, and guests on September 23rd for An Evening with the Mayor: State of the City 2026, an event honoring the future of Beverly Hills. Held at the historic Greystone Mansion and Gardens, the evening was an opportunity for members of the community to connect with City leadership in an informal setting while hearing directly from Beverly Hills Mayor Craig Corman. In conversation with NBC4’s Robert Kovacik, Mayor Corman discussed his vision for the city and highlighted fiscal responsibility, public safety, and new business development as the main priorities of his term.

The discussion provided a closer look at the issues affecting Beverly Hills businesses and residents, while creating dialogue between City leadership and the business community. Attendees had the opportunity to mingle, learn more about the Chamber’s work, and speak with the Mayor throughout the evening.

Founded in 1923, the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit, membership-based business organization serving as an economic advocate and voice for the business community in Beverly Hills. The Chamber supports local enterprises and promotes the local economy through targeted marketing, legislative advocacy, and educational programming.

Events that bring business leaders together with City officials provide an avenue for members to learn about civic priorities while contributing to conversations about the local business environment. 

Selected as the perfect setting for An Evening with the Mayor, Greystone Mansion & Gardens is a 46,000-square-foot Tudor Revival estate surrounded by 18.3 acres of terraced public gardens. The historic property was purchased by the City of Beverly Hills in 1965 and opened to the public as a park in 1971. Its landscaped grounds and views were ideal for an event centered around the city’s future.

The Chamber expressed its appreciation to Mayor Corman, the Beverly Hills City Council, City staff, members, residents, and guests for their participation and partnership throughout the evening.
