People often ask me: What's the best way that I can get involved in the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce? My response is always the same: Are you involved in any of our committees? There's so much going on at the Chamber, but a lot of the day-to-day work is accomplished in our committees.

The best part is that the focus of each of our committees is so large, that everyone can find a committee that fits their interest. Here's a list of our committees, when they meet and what they do.

So if you can, come check out a committee. We're always looking for new faces.
