Restructuring Events
2025 Strategic Plan
While COVID-19 presented tremendous challenges to the Chamber’s ability to serve our businesses through events, it also presented opportunities that had not been previously explored. To restructure events and makes them successful, we must:
A key focus for the Chamber in the coming year will be forward planning. We will convene leaders in a wide variety of community sectors to discuss the most important needs of our City and determine where the Chamber can have the greatest impact in the five years leading up to 2025.
• Develop contingency plans for each of the Chamber’s major business/community events for 2021.
• Develop a plan for virtual events that inspire people to attend and engage.
• Develop virtual hybrid events to enhance future in-person events with virtual attendance options. • Continue to develop an accumulation of webinars with topics that educate and inspire, including required training for businesses on HR related topics.
Political Action & Candidate Endorsements In 2020, the Oceanside Chamber endorsed candidates for the first time in recent history. The Chamber endorsed Ryan Keim and Peter Weiss who were both successful in their bids to maintain seats on the Oceanside City Council. In 2021, the Chamber will work to build on that momentum in preparation for endorsements in the two council districts that will come up for election in the following year. We will accomplish this by: • Participating actively in the process of identifying a business-friendly candidate for Oceanside’s District 1 Council vacancy. • Discussing a candidate academy or leadership development strategy.
The Chamber is commitment. When the going gets tough, we don't sit on the sidelines. We are working tirelessly, seeking out solutions for the challenges we're all facing. We're always there for you at www.oceansidechamber.com
• Developing of a long-term plan to prepare to be proactive for each election cycle. • Developing sustainable funding sources for future election cycles. • Continuing ongoing discussions regarding 2022 races to determine in which races Chamber should engage.
