Debbie Allen, Board Chair
2020 will be a momentous year for the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce and as a member of this epic business organization: you have the opportunity to join with us and make history.
With 2020 being an election year, one focus of the Chamber will be to help elect business friendly candidates to local office. This will include the Oceanside Mayoral race along with Districts 3 and 4. The Chambers Business and Community Political Action Committee (BACPAC), along with the Chamber staff and Board of Directors spent much of 2019 setting up strong framework for endorsing business friendly candidates in 2020, a first for this progressive Chamber of Commerce.
Having been a member of the Board of Directors for the past 3 years I can personally attest to the hard work that the staff and Directors have completed this past year. The prosperity of our community is critical and to have pro-business leaders will help to continue to have a healthy economic environment.
Other key focuses for 2020 are Workforce development-Business advocacy and Beach sand erosion control!
All three of the above initiatives are vital to the economics of the City of Oceanside.
The Chamber will continue to work with Mira Costa’s “Gear up” program. “The Oceanside promise,” and with business leaders to be knowledgeable of the local workforces needs.
As a Business Advocate, we want to have prosperous businesses that can count on us to help with legislative issues and stay on top of local, state and federal changes.
Our beaches are a key community asset. Economic well-being and the local community have come to depend on the sand being there. The erosion of our beach sand is a huge threat. We all need to call on our leaders to help us retain and come up with a vital retention plan to slow down the erosion of our beaches.
Finally, we will put together a 5-year strategic plan to determine where the Chamber of Commerce can have the greatest impact leading to 2025.
As we look forward to this history-making year, I am excited and honored to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. I thank you for your membership, your support and commitment, without you, we would not make a difference.
I Love Oceanside and I know you do too!
