“The Chamber came through by reaching out to make sure our business had all the resources we needed to navigate the COVID-19 crisis. When this crisis hit, the Chamber made a concerted effort to proactively reach out to hundreds of businesses (members and non-members) to see how we are doing and discover how they can best serve our community.” Josh Van Orden, Director of Operations/PR & Marketing, Oceanside Therapy Group |
“The pandemic has severely impacted the tourism industry here in Oceanside. When we needed it most the chamber came through and advocated for us by supporting the reopening of public beaches and parking lots, thus bringing people back to Oceanside. While we had other state regulations which inhibited our ability to open, the Chamber provided monetary support and resources so when we could reopen and bring our visitors back to Oceanside we would still be in business. We value the efforts made by the Chamber and they continue to advocate for the business community, we are stronger together.” Donna Kalez, Owner, Oceanside Adventures |
"Now more than ever, we need City leadership that understands the importance of supporting our business community. The Chamber has displayed its support for businesses by endorsing and helping elect Council members Ryan Keim and Peter Weiss. We now have a strong foundation for rebuilding our business community and emerging from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 crisis.” Neil Nagata, Nagata Bros Farms |
"I first joined the Oceanside Chamber in 2004 with an interest in connecting more personally with the business community in Oceanside and the neighboring cities. I knew that the more active I was in the community, the greater would be my success. I became an active member and a Chamber Ambassador. Mission accomplished! The Oceanside Chamber has been a real influence in the positive growth of my Insurance Business. My membership has certainly been worth every penny and many, many dollars more." Bob Waite, Aflac |
"As a small, service related business, being an active member of The Oceanside Chamber has proven to be a good business strategy as it is an effective way to convey to consumers that my company uses good business practices, is involved in the community, cares about customers, and is reputable. I have attended many of the Chamber’s educational seminars including their social media series and maximizing your membership series. The monthly mixers offered by the Chamber assist me in reaching out and meeting old and new members and their guests in a friendly, yet professional setting. My revenue has increased directly from being involved with the Oceanside Chamber’s education, networking and on-line presence. Whether you are a small business, or a large corporation, home based or mobile, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce offers business connections, visibility and community involvement. We are The 'Friendly Chamber'.” Robyn Carlson, Carlson Mobile Notary |
"You cannot afford not to become an Oceanside Chamber member if you are a small business. I take advantage of their training workshops, day and evening networking events and your business is showcased on their on line directory and website which gives you better search engine optimization. As a chamber member, you have access to many resources that will help you grow your business, by far the best investment I have made for my business!"
