The country continued to rebuild itself during the 1950's and so did the Junior Chamber by focusing on establishing a better community in which to live. Projects, goals, mission and focused from the previous three decades coalesced the efforts of the Junior Chamber in this decade as it achieved a true balance between civic responsibility and promotion of tourism and hospitality.

Sports activities continued to be a vehicle to promote Los Angeles as the L.A. Open reached enormous proportions with the largest purse in its history. More importantly, however, 1957 marked the first year women were allowed to volunteer in the L.A. Open. Although women still could not hold membership, they joined the L.A. Open Wives Club to provide hospitality during the tournament and added a new dimension to the face of the Junior Chamber.

Maintaining continuity, the Junior Chamber was active in fire prevention week, harbor day aviation and other community events. The 2,500 mile cross country air route was dedicated the "Will Rogers Skyway" and the first Award of Merit was established and awarded to 1953 Police Chief, William Parker.

The 1950's concluded as turbulent times emerged on the distant horizon of Vietnam and the Watts riots, however, the Junior Chamber was poised to respond to social change as it transformed into a community based organization with more than half of it history grounded in civic, social and recreational development of Los Angeles.
