Membership

On behalf of the West Shores Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to all interested parties to join our organization and become an active participant in the community.

There are many exciting things taking place at the Salton Sea and a strong Chamber of Commerce will be necessary to steer economic growth and development in the proper direction, as well as face the inevitable challenges that prosperity and growth bring with it.

It is only through the participation of individual members, business leaders, and the community at large that the Chamber can hope to accomplish its mission of economic growth combined with civic enrichment.
Your input will be vital in creating an atmosphere that will provide the necessary advice, wisdom, and energy which will allow our Chamber and the entire community to grow and reach its full potential.

With your help and participation, we will work together in a spirit of cooperation that will make the Salton Sea a wonderful, thriving, and safe place to raise our families and grow our community, and truly become "California's Crown Jewel".
