Oceanside Chamber of Commerce — Local services in Oceanside

When I first started doing business in Oceanside in 2005 I was under the impression that Chambers of Commerce were outdated institutions. When I joined a year later, it was to get to know some of the movers & shakers in Oside tourism as my business at the time was vacation rental management. Boy was I in for a change of opinion, and a fantastic ride. In no time at all the Oceanside Chamber became my number 2 referral source to my web page, and my number one source for becoming a "player" in Oceanside tourism myself.

I took a break from Chamber membership from 2011-2013 as I changed my business from Vacation Rental Management to Real Estate Sales. That said, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce was the FIRST place I joined in 2013, the first place I went for networking, and the BEST source of support and referrals to launch this newest chapter in Real Estate for me. The positive impact on my business is measurable.

The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce is THE most forward thinking Chamber, THE most positive group of business people, and THE must go to resource for those who want to do business in Oceanside. The web presence and social media education is second to none. The members are all about serving their clients and helping each other succeed. The Oceanside Chamber connections I've made have directly resulted in 3 referrals to me for home sellers and buyers in Oceanside in just the first quarter of 2014! There are many opportunities for networking, learning, and service, and I promise you will get out of this Chamber more than you...

I recently had the privilege of attending the November Business Mixer hosted by the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce at Frontwave Credit Union (Rancho Del Oro Branch), and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with dynamic individuals eager to connect and share their stories.

One of the highlights for me was engaging with a group of talented college students, Executives, and CEO. It was inspiring to hear about their diverse backgrounds, ambitious goals, and the passion they exuded for their futures. Their excitement was contagious, and it was a reminder of the importance of fostering these connections within our community.

The food and drinks provided at the event were simply outstanding—every bite and sip added to the enjoyable ambiance of the evening. Scott, Tracy, Elizabeth, and the Team truly went above and beyond to create a welcoming and energizing space for the attendees and staff.

Kudos to the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce and Frontwave Credit Union for hosting such a well-executed and meaningful event. It was a fantastic opportunity to network, learn, and celebrate the community spirit that makes Oceanside thrive. I’m already looking forward to the next one!
