GREETINGS

WELCOME

On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and Discover Claremont, welcome to Claremont!

When I first stepped into the CEO role at the Claremont Chamber of Commerce, I was reminded of what makes this city so unique. Yes, it is the unmistakable historic charm, the iconic tree-lined streets, and the world-class academic institutions - but it’s also the people, businesses, and organizations that bring vibrancy to the history, the streets, and the institutions.

I believe this to be true because Claremont is where kindness is at the heart of what we do. It’s why local business owners greet customers by name, or how neighbors look out for one another, and how members of the community step up to support causes that matter. This generosity goes beyond good intentions; it’s part of what makes up the fabric of our community.

This year at the Chamber, we’re embracing the theme of Kindness. For me, this is not just as a feel-good idea but a strategy for a real and actionable approach to business and community building. Here’s what I mean: When businesses lead with kindness, they attract loyal customers and keep dedicated employees. When nonprofits build their mission on generosity, they create movements that inspire change. When we choose to invest in others, our entire City thrives.

Claremont’s business community has long been a champion of this mindset. We’ve seen this done through restaurants donating meals to a local shelter, a retailer hosting a fundraiser for a neighborhood school, or a startup mentoring young entrepreneurs. Claremont’s businesses community recognizes that success comes in different forms, and beyond the bottom line - kindness makes a lasting impact.

This year’s Guide is your resource for discovering the Claremont community. In our town, you’ll find innovative businesses, cultural attractions, educational institutions, and hidden gems. The Guide is also an invitation to engage, support, and experience the power of our community firsthand.

If you’re visiting for the first time, welcome! If your plans are to explore the dining scene, visit The Claremont Colleges, or if you’re considering making this City your home, I encourage you to experience and participate in the kindness that defines Claremont. If you’re a business owner or community leader, thank you for being part of what makes our City full of kindness!

At the Claremont Chamber of Commerce, we believe that we all succeed when we lead with kindness. We look forward to another year of growth, generosity, and connection.

Enjoy your stay!

CLAREMONT NONPROFIT RECOGNIZED AMONG BEST OF THE BEST

Each year, more than 400,000 children are unable to live with their families due to trauma, abuse, or neglect. While government funding provides essential support, the needs of these children often surpass available resources. The Children’s Foundation of America (CFA), based in Claremont, bridges this gap by identifying and accessing resources to help children heal, learn, and thrive.

CFA supports thousands of children annually through volunteer programs, care package distributions, scholarships, fundraising events, and a sustaining giving program. CFA partners with foster care organizations, mental health services,

shelters, and schools to offer essential assistance.

One of CFA’s signature fundraising events is the annual ChariTea, a traditional afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, baked goods, and quality teas. In 2025, Inland Empire Magazine, which has a readership of over 150,000, recognized the ChariTea as the “Best Local Charity Event,” a testament to its impact and popularity within the community.

CFA Director of Development, Jenelle Phillips, expressed gratitude for the community’s support, highlighting the contributions of volunteers and partners.

The ChariTea, known for its unique themes and the PositiviTea Awards, celebrates those who make a difference locally.

In addition, CFA hosts fundraising events throughout the year, including

a back-to-school drive, golf tournament, gala, toy drive, and a holiday gift-wrapping fundraiser, offering multiple ways for the community to get involved and support children in crisis.

KINDNESS

BY ASHLEY RYAN & JOHN PEREZ

In a town as communitydriven as Claremont, local changemakers are setting the standard for success through empathy, compassion, and leadership that puts people first.

Strong communities start with strong leaders, and few things encourage productivity quite like the power of compassion. While there was a shift toward a slower pace of living during the COVID-19 pandemic, life has largely returned to its “normal” rhythm. But Gallup’s 2024 State of the Global Workplace report reveals that employee engagement is at an all-time low globally, with 77% of respondents reporting they’re not motivated or invested in their work. So, what can business leaders do to address the lack of engagement?

KINDNESS

“There are so many things to do, and it’s because of the kindness of the community as a collective.”

KATHLEEN FARISS CEO CLAREMONT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Some believe leading with kindness is the answer. Why? Leading with kindness has been shown to cultivate more innovative workplaces with higher productivity. Employees who feel seen and

valued are likelier to remain committed to their roles. Employees who do not often feel valued begin to disengage until they find an opportunity to leave. According to a Southern California-based workforce solutions and staffing company, Dexian, the latest Humankindex Report states 90% of companies that prioritize kindness in leadership believe they have an advantage over their competitors.

In Claremont, kindness runs deep. It shows up in city initiatives like Project Adopt, the Volunteer Recognition Event, and the inclusive Spring Celebration, each rooted in care and connection. And beyond city programming, the same values are found throughout the town’s business community.

Kathleen Fariss, who stepped into her role as CEO of the Claremont Chamber of Commerce earlier this year, believes that kindness is more than a value in Claremont: it is the foundation. With decades of leadership experience and a career rooted in coaching, strategy, and service, she sees the community’s warmth as both its strength and its signature.

“Our community in Claremont makes it a place that you want to visit, stay, maybe move, send your child to college,” she reflects. “There are so many things to do, and it’s because of the kindness of the community as a collective.”

For Kathleen, kindness in leadership is not performative. It is practiced in how leaders listen, in how they make decisions, and in how they walk alongside others through change. In her new role, she sees how compassion and collaboration shape not only the Chamber’s culture but the broader fabric of Claremont’s business community. Kindness, as she describes it, is not just a virtue. It is a strategy for trust, connection, and long-term growth.

and dine while you wait. Or maybe you fancy a bit of culture. Art @ ONT features rotating 2D and 3D work by local artists throughout both terminals. Many of these exhibits are in glass cases along terminal walkways, including displays featuring historic items from ONT’s history.

KINDNESS

“The best leaders not only helped me to develop my skills and encouraged my growth, they created strong bonds of mutual respect and trust.”

CHER OFSTEDAHL CEO TRINITY YOUTH SERVICES

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

Every leader brings a different voice to the table, and with that, a different interpretation of what it means to lead with kindness.

For John Neiuber, Chair of the Claremont Chamber executive board and former CEO of nonprofit Trinity Youth Services (TYS), leadership starts with listening. “A lot of people think that communication is talking, but it’s really listening, and the ability to have empathy and to understand what somebody else is going through,” he explains.

Cher Ofstedahl, who succeeded Neiuber as CEO of Trinity Youth Services in 2020, says his example helped shape her approach. “Over the course of my working life, I have been exposed to a variety of supervision and leadership styles, from those bordering on abusive to those which encouraged and empowered me to do my best work,” she says. “I can barely remember the names of the leaders who were unkind. The best leaders not only helped me to develop my skills and encouraged my growth, they created strong bonds of mutual respect and trust.”

Ofstedahl continues to carry that mindset forward. “Many leaders equate kindness with weakness and, in my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth,” she adds. “At its strongest and most effective, kindness encompasses empathy, respect, and care for the work, those performing the work, and those receiving the benefits or services offered.”

Her philosophy is anchored in care and accountability. “I believe leading with love, in the context of passion and purpose, naturally entices others to follow,” she says.

Kindness is not confined to the nonprofit world. Emily Moultrie, co-founder of Claremont Craft Ales and board member for both the Chamber and the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art, sees compassionate leadership as an ongoing practice of seeing people clearly and meeting them where they are.

“Your job is just one small part of your life,” she says. “It’s an important part, but it’s not the end-all, be-all. I think understanding that is a good quality for an employer.”

Moultrie was raised around small business in Claremont. The values she learned early on are still present in how she leads today.

“I’m in charge, but I’m not actually in charge,” she says with a smile. “The people who are doing it in that moment, they’re in charge. We’re all responsible and I’m there to help. Everyone just has their own knowledge and their own gifts, and the more they get shared, the better everyone is.”

KINDNESS

STORIES THAT INSPIRE

Each of these leaders has a story of how kindness shaped not just their organizations, but their own lives.

Claremont native Ryan Zimmerman felt the impact long before he became a real estate professional. Years ago, before having children of his own, he coached a local youth soccer team, and the experience changed him. “It inspired me to write a book called ‘Coach’s Advice,’” he says. “It has nothing to do with sports, but it’s about me giving advice to this group of guys for seven years.”

Zimmerman describes the quiet transformation that took place as he mentored his players. “Getting involved in your community can have impacts far greater than just financial,” he says. The lessons he gained in mentorship now guide his work at Concierge Realty Group, where he and business partner Mason Prophet lead with a people-first mindset.

“It’s what we feel is important, to be active and involved in the community and to create a supportive atmosphere,” Zimmerman says. That spirit shows up in many ways, from sponsoring local nonprofit

“Getting involved in your community can have impacts far greater than just financial.”

events to giving time on boards for the Chamber, Mt. San Antonio Gardens, and the Claremont Kiwanis.

NOT WITHOUT TESTING

Some leaders found themselves tested in extraordinary circumstances. When Neiuber took over as CEO of Trinity Youth Services in 1991, the nonprofit was on the brink of bankruptcy. His approach was to lead with honesty and transparency.

“I knew that people needed their concerns to be heard,” he says. “My approach is to tell everyone everything so they understand where you’re coming from and what you’re trying to accomplish. I think by extending that kindness and giving them a voice, I helped them believe in what we were doing. People got behind it, and we turned the company completely around.”

Ofstedahl, too, was tested early in her tenure. She stepped into the CEO role just one month before the pandemic began. With a team providing 24/7 care for vulnerable youth, remote work was not an option. But transparency, shared responsibility, and community support made the difference.

“We were able to encourage and enlist staff to show up every day because they

felt we were all in it together, that they were appreciated and cared for,” she says. The experience, she adds, reminded her that kindness and responsibility are not at odds. “When tough decisions need to be made, the responsibility falls to the leader,” she says. “How those decisions are communicated and implemented can still be handled with transparency and integrity.”

Tom Hsieh, a graduate of Claremont Graduate University’s Drucker School of Management and founder of both SplinterRock and New Pacific Airlines, recalls a leadership moment grounded in both values and vulnerability. As campaign manager for Pomona mayor Tim Sandoval, Hsieh made the bold decision to open their strategy meetings to their opponents.

“There were four others. Three of them took us up on the offer, came to our meeting and then dropped out of the race,” he says.

“After attending our meeting, they said, ‘Not only do you voice core values that we believe in, but you’re living it out in the end. We have a better chance of winning together.’ There was a heart, and a root of kindness in that.”

“I would not be where I am if the leaders in my community hadn’t shown kindness and empathy...”

EMILY MOULTRIE OWNER CLAREMONT CRAFT ALES

EVERYDAY LEADERSHIP, EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT

Kindness, these leaders agree, is not just a leadership style. It is a way of showing up in the world.

“When people know that their ideas and opinions and observations are going to be heard and taken into account, all sorts of great things happen,” Moultrie says. “I would not be where I am if the leaders in my community hadn’t shown kindness, empathy, understanding and a willingness to listen to me, to be excited and interested in what I wanted to do.”

She adds that leadership can also mean embracing differences and amplifying others. “The more gifts that we have collectively, the more creativity, the more people with different ways of thinking, will only make things better,” she says.

Neiuber agrees. “Give up the idea of having authority, because that can work really well in a crisis situation, but it never works afterward to be an authoritarian,” he explains. “People don’t respond well. The way you get people to act kindly is by modeling it for them, so they can see.”

For Ofstedahl, the most enduring leadership lessons come from listening closely to those on the front lines. “When employees feel their opinions and ideas matter and that they can contribute in a safe, non-judgmental space, then innovation and productivity flourish,” she says. “Those closest to the actual work are likely to have a level of expertise their leaders do not have and are more likely to have practical, rather than theoretical, ideas for positive improvement.”

In the end, the case for kind leadership is not just philosophical. It is personal. It is cultural. And as these leaders demonstrate, it is powerful. As a business leader, or any leader, what should you do next to lead with kindness? Cher Ofstedahl suggests, “Do your research. Check the science. Connect with other leaders you admire, and those you lead will thank you. Your life will be markedly improved [and] the world will be a better place.”

EDUCATION

QUICK FACTS 7

in Claremont. 5 undergraduate colleges and 2 graduate colleges

Aconsortium of seven highly selective private institutions of higher education located in Claremont, the Claremont Colleges comprise five undergraduate schools – Pomona College, Scripps College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College and Pitzer College – plus two graduate institutions, Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute.

Located on contiguous campuses within Claremont, each institution has its own student body, faculty, governance, curricular emphasis, culture and mission. Intercollegiate cooperation provides university-scale services and facilities and, with 8,500 students and 3,200 faculty and staff located on more than 540 acres of land, the Claremont Colleges benefit from the diverse missions, characters and cultures as well as the integration of academic and extracurricular programs that make up this truly unique consortium.

Founded in 1925 by Pomona College President James A. Blaisdell, who proposed a collegiate university design inspired

by Oxford University, the structure was designed to provide the specialization, flexibility and personal attention commonly found in small colleges but with the resources of a large university.

In 1923, Blaisdell said, “My own very deep hope is that, instead of one great, undifferentiated university, we might have a group of institutions divided into small colleges – somewhat of an Oxford type – around a library and other utilities which they would use in common. In this way, I should hope to preserve the inestimable personal values of the small college while securing the facilities of the great university.”

EDUCATION

Visitors may enjoy a leisurely walk through gardens and tree-filled campuses, where they will encounter architect-designed buildings spanning from the 1880s to modern times, in styles reflecting the Queen Anne Victorian era, Spanish Colonial Revival, California Modernist and more. Art, sculptures and murals abound in hidden gardens and courtyards. Renowned architects practiced in Claremont, and many designed master plans for entire campuses and individual buildings located throughout America.

Scripps College, considered one of the nation’s most beautiful college campuses, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designed by Gordon Kaufmann, who also designed the Los Angeles Times building, Greystone Mansion and the Hoover Dam, among others. The imposing Bridges Auditorium was designed by William Templeton Johnson, who also dreamt up the San Diego Museum of Art and Museum of Natural History in Balboa Park, while the beautiful Mabel Shaw Bridges Hall of Music on the Pomona College campus was designed by Pasadena architect Myron Hunt, also known for the Rose Bowl and the Huntington Library.

Claremont is also home to Claremont Lincoln University, a fully accredited nonprofit institution offering online graduate programs centered on ethical leadership and social impact. While distinct from the Claremont Colleges, CLU contributes to the city’s academic landscape through globally focused, values-driven education.

POMONA COLLEGE (1887)

Pomona College is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading liberal arts colleges, offering an ideal environment for intellectually curious students to pursue their academic goals across 48 majors, with sponsored research and internships as well. Pomona holds a unique role in creating opportunities in American higher education, committed to enrolling the best students regardless of financial circumstances. To that end, Pomona is one of a small group of colleges that meet 100% of demonstrated need without loans.

Most likely, Claremont was named for Claremont, New Hampshire, when it was founded in 1887.

Since 1908, the Claremont Chamber of Commerce has played a major role in the civic, economic, and social development of the city. Established first as the Claremont Board of Trade, it changed its name to the Claremont Chamber of Commerce in 1920. The Board of Trade was initially established to promote the citrus industry, which was the main economic driver of the city in its early days. The change to the Chamber of Commerce acknowledged the incorporation of the city in 1907, and embraced a wider variety of businesses serving the community.

The Board of Directors in front of the new Chamber Office at 207 Harvard Avenue in 1930.

Judy Wright, historian, preservationist and civic leader once said, “The men built the colleges but the women built the city.” This observation is embodied by the executive director of the Chamber from 1923 to 1944, Lela Ackerman. Lela was called an activist, organizer, visionary, city planner, gardener, advocate, and fun-loving person. She brought the City Beautiful Movement to Claremont, and through the Chamber, a City Beautiful Club was formed and continued until the late 1960s, that sought to achieve unity of design. She had the vision that the City Beautiful movement should support not only civic center improvements, but also comprehensive planning of the entire city.

Under her leadership in 1924, the Chamber established the first planning commission to create a civic improvement plan, build a civic center and back a bond issue for a new fire station. The Chamber organized meetings of townspeople to discuss subdivision regulations, city landscaping, paved streets, and location of business, industry, and residences.

Due to prompting from the Chamber, the City Board of Trustees passed an ordinance

establishing a city planning commission. The Chamber worked with the city to develop the plans for the civic center. The first part of the new civic center on Second Street included a first-floor fire and police station and second floor city hall.

Among her greatest accomplishments was often cited the chamber office and proper zoning. In addition, she was credited with instituting sewers, paved streets, sidewalks, trees, public library, garbage collection, tennis courts, the San Antonio Dam for flood protection, fire station, post office, library, Village Theatre, moving the relocation of Arrow Highway, and establishing the Chamber as the voice of progressive citizens, involved not only in promoting and supporting businesses, but in the political and civic life of Claremont. Lela Ackerman was responsible for and did more to establish much of what is valued in the city today.

Given the close relationship between the Chamber and the city, the Chamber of Commerce building was constructed on the northwest corner of Second Street and Harvard Avenue in 1930. In 1948, the City Hall expansion was built that incorporated

the Chamber Office and the posts of the old building were changed to arches to complement the new design.

In the early years, projects were spearheaded by the Chamber for the betterment of the community. The Chamber supported the establishment of parks, and participated in the founding of the Los Angeles County Fair.

Early Fourth of July and Christmas programs were sponsored by the Chamber. It distributed items to families in need throughout the year. It served as an employment agency for both workers and employers, collaborated with the Red Cross and operated as a general welfare center, coordinating the work of local agencies

LEILA MAKES HISTORY

Leila Ackerman left with her sister, Martha, and brother, Arthur, standing in front of the family car. Leila Ackerman served as the Secretary (Executive Director) of the Chamber from 1923 until 1944. Ackerman promoted the city and its businesses throughout the region and was responsible for designing the Claremont displays at the Los Angeles County Fair. She also developed marketing materials and wrote a brief history of Claremont. info courtesy of Claremont Heritage

through its Claremont Welfare Council. The Chamber even served as the location for the unemployed to register, which became a major function during the Depression.

From the early 1900s through the 1950s, the Chamber supported and promoted the local citrus industry nationally and created displays for the County Fair. The most significant influence on Claremont’s growth after World War II was the establishment of the Postwar Planning Committee by the Chamber. This Committee laid the groundwork for planning decisions that inform the city today. The committee’s work addressed areas such as the business district, finance, zoning ordinances, street trees, fire and police facilities, street maintenance, school district planning and parks, a professional rather than volunteer fire department, a city-manager form of government, designation of street trees for specific streets, creation of a parkways and streets commission, creation of a parks and recreation commission, tightening of zoning ordinances, and a proposal that led to the establishment of Memorial Park.

The Village was not always called that. In the early days of the city, it was called the Central Business District. In 1959, the

Chamber launched a campaign to establish the Central Business District as the Village. The campaign, with the cooperation of city officials, enlisted all businesses to refer to the downtown area as the Village, a name that is still proudly used today.

The Chamber began its marketing of the uniqueness of Claremont in 1959 and that identity thrives today. The Chamber worked in conjunction with the hospitality industry to establish the Business Improvement District in 2009. The taxes collected by the hotels established Discover Claremont that markets the City in various media that helps drive visitors and business to the entire city. Discover Claremont, in partnership with the Chamber, reaches potential visitors and customers not only in California, but nationally and internationally as well.

The Chamber established the annual Village Venture in 1982, to promote businesses and bring nearly 20,000 visitors to Claremont in October each year.

The Chamber supports and advocates for legislation that promotes a healthy community and business environment and quality development.

To support member businesses and introduce customers to those businesses, the Chamber holds monthly “Lunch Mobs” where business leaders visit a member restaurant to network over lunch. Chamber business owners and others also gather at member establishments for “Network and Sip events and new member mixers. The Chamber maintains a robust gift card program for member businesses. Customers may purchase gift cards at the Chamber

and member businesses then submit them for reimbursement. Unlike other gift card programs, there is no fee to the customer or the business.

An active and engaged Board of Directors and Chief Executive meet monthly to conduct Chamber business and address issues facing the business community. The Board of Directors includes the mayor, superintendent of schools, and a representative from the Claremont Colleges Services. The Ambassador Program consists of a core group of helpful and informed volunteers that check and meet with business owners to assess needs and provide support.

The Chamber constantly moves forward, looking for ways to support businesses and enhance the visitor experience and responds quickly to challenges and changes, while supporting the civic, economic, and social development of the business community.

early California settlements, Claremont’s first form of government was the Town Meeting. Although it had no legal sanction under California law, a constitution for the Claremont Town meeting was adopted early in the history of the town. The Town Meeting had committees on stores and the downtown commercial area, but it wasn’t until December, 1908, that an association

was organized with the establishment of the Claremont Board of Trade. The Board of Trade was responsible for the first City Plan and enjoyed the same status as a chamber of commerce for several years. In 1922, the Claremont Chamber of Commerce was organized after a campaign by the Los Angeles Chamber. The Chamber’s first President was George Griswold.
