About the Chamber In Action Cleanup organizer:

Brennan Lindner, a Venice resident since 2007, was driven to start the pop up crews after noticing an accumulation of trash around Venice in recent months. Finding this unacceptable, and with a little more time on his hands since his company Generic Events had to pivot to the virtual world, he decided it was time to take charge rather than wait for the City to do something. “It’s a great way for stakeholders to be active in their community and make a direct impact where you can immediately see results,” said Lindner.

About the Chamber in Action Committee:

The Chamber in Action Committee brings Chamber members and the community together to work on improving local businesses and communities through service and facilitation in an attempt to make lasting, positive change. Venice Chamber in Action Committee founded by Kelly Layne
