Welcome!
Membership in the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce is a great business opportunity that gives you a competitive edge in the Solana Beach business community. The Chamber is dedicated to making Solana Beach a better place to live, work and conduct business. Founded in 1947, the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce is made up of an Executive Board, Board of Directors, Staff, Ambassadors, Members and Volunteers – all working together to ensure the future of the Solana Beach economy and quality of life.
As the premier advocacy organization for business in Solana Beach,we are working to promote and support local business by encouraging and facilitating tourism, business to business relationships, community involvement and communication with local, county and regional governments. The Chamber positions itself in the heart of the Solana Beach community by working with the City of Solana Beach and local businesses to ensure that their Members’ needs and those of the community as a whole are represented.
The Chamber Executive Board and Board of Directors establish Chamber policies and set the goals and objectives of the organization. Sundowners, breakfast meetings - "3rd Thursdays" and ribbon cuttings provide our members unique networking opportunities. The Solana Beach Chamber works with other local Chambers to set up the annual Business Expo - a premier marketing event for all members. The Chamber is committed to improving the economic vitality of the City of Solana Beach through building a vibrant business environment for its members.
Our Members’ involvement is what makes the Chamber a success. Each Member helps to make Solana Beach a great place to work, live and play. Our active Ambassador program is open to all Chamber Members, and Volunteers are welcome to serve on committees for various events.
