I went to my first Carlsbad Chamber event nearly 20 years ago and just went to a networking/learning event this past Friday. Through the years the chamber has supported my business, from the first event I attended, where I was new, green, and needed help figuring out how to network to now.The Carlsbad Chamber is the second largest chamber of commerce in San Diego County, they have a great mix of long-time and new members, they know everything there is to know about what is happening in North County, and they are a wonderful resource for small or large businesses. Through the chamber I have been able to acquire new and long-term clients, learn about city and county resources as well as connect with city leaders & officials. The chamber throughout the years has been an asset for my growing business.
I am a new member to the chamber and could not have had a more positive experience. The welcome has been warm and genuine. The people are caring, professional and truly want to see you succeed. Thank you CCC!
Good to again meet members at this monthly breakfast meeting. Now I know why my expressions of "appreciation" to my top performer at my last career position, did not ring true! Any opportunity to change the start time to 7:30, and limit the speakers to 20 minutes?
I’ve been a member of the Carlsbad Chamber for over 2 years now. I joined specifically because I wanted to get more involved in the community, to extend my network of influence, and to grow my book of business. Right away I saw a difference. I was able to meet business leaders and influencers, and start getting some referrals, which had a dramatic impact on my sales. The more I got involved, the more I got out of it. I’m extremely grateful for what the Carlsbad Chamber, their amazing staff, and loyal members, have done for my business.
