BACKGROUND

In 2021, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce embarked on the development of an ambitious 5-Year Strategic Plan. The process involved extensive outreach to the business community, including phone surveys and focus group meetings with business and community leaders. Using the feedback received from its outreach efforts, the Chamber Board held sessions with a strategic facilitator to help update its Mission and Vision statements as well as identify key areas in which the Chamber will serve the business community in the next five years. The following is an overview of the Chamber’s 5-Year Strategic Imperatives along with action items for 2023.

The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce is committed to the development of leaders to serve in a wide variety of capacities in our community. The Oceanside Leadership Academy was formed to equip participants to serve in a variety of leadership roles such as non-profit boards, City commissions, elected leadership roles, and within leadership succession roles in their own companies.
