Chairman’s Message – March 2026

The Gem – March 2026

March in La Quinta is pure momentum.

The sunshine feels warmer. Our patios are full. Golf courses are humming. Visitors are here. Snowbirds are soaking it all in. And our local businesses are operating at full stride.

If you attended the La Quinta Classic Car Show, you experienced firsthand what makes this city so special. With beautiful weather and more than 200 stunning cars lining Old Town, the energy was undeniable. Restaurants were packed. Retail shops were busy. Our streets were alive. Events like this are more than community gatherings — they are economic engines that drive visibility, tourism, and direct support to our local businesses.

The La Quinta Art Celebration continues that momentum, drawing national talent and visitors who discover not only incredible art, but the charm and vitality of our entire business community.

With St. Patrick’s Day upon us, it is easy to talk about luck. But lasting prosperity is not built on luck. It is built on strategy.

Economic development happens when a community intentionally plants seeds. Investments in infrastructure. Support for entrepreneurs. Collaboration between business leaders and public officials. Advocacy that protects and strengthens our local economy. What we cultivate today through thoughtful planning and partnership will determine the strength of La Quinta’s economic harvest in the years ahead.

The Chamber remains committed to working alongside our City Council and municipal leadership to ensure responsible growth, smart policy, and a business-friendly environment that attracts investment while preserving the character that makes La Quinta so unique. Public and private partnership is not optional, it is essential.

As we continue through peak season, this is the moment to be intentional. The relationships we strengthen now, the partnerships we build, and the visibility we create today will shape the opportunities of tomorrow. A resilient business community is not created during slow seasons; it is built when momentum is strongest.

La Quinta continues to shine not only as a destination, but as a model for how community, leadership, and business can work together to thrive.

As your Chairman, and as someone who proudly calls La Quinta home I am deeply invested in this city’s future, I remain optimistic and energized about where we are headed.

Let’s keep planting. Let’s keep building. And let’s keep La Quinta flourishing.
