The Soledad-Mission Chamber of Commerce, in close association with the City of Soledad, is an established business association dedicated to developing a strong network for potential and existing local business to prosper and thrive in our community. It is a forum for local businesses to communicate with one another and the world outside the benefits of their existence in our local marketplace; it is a meeting place for business colleagues and friends to gather, discuss and glean information about the changes in our business climate and what we can all do to improve the quality of life in our town.

WHY WOULD A LOCAL BUSINESS WANT TO JOIN OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?

• SOUTH COUNTY BUSINESS EXPO. The Chamber hosts an annual showcase of business every year.

• BI-MONTHLY NEWSLETTER. Our bi-monthly newsletter keeps our members informed about important changes in our community and promotes the new members joining our association. Our bi-monthly newsletter is published inside the “Soledad Bee.”

• NETWORKING LUNCH. One of the most important keys to any successful business is networking. Your first lunch as a new chamber member is courtesy of the generosity of your chamber!

The Soledad-Mission Chamber of Commerce has informative monthly lunch meetings, where you can meet local concerned citizens and new business owners and promote yourself and your services, Guest speakers are invited to each meeting and local topics of interest are shared with our members. Our general meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month, 12 noon at Cheezer’s Pizza on West Street in Soledad.
