• Share information and ideas in order to avoid duplication of effort, and to foster an environment of collaboration.
• Make the resources of our business community available to our educators.

Annual Business Education Committee Award:

The C. Allen Paul Award is given annually to the one person in our region who has done more, during the past year, to bring the education and business communities closer together. The award’s namesake, Dr. C. Allen Paul, was one of the founders of Grossmont College, and was the first Dean of its Business School.

Meetings:

Meetings are on the third Friday of each month (Jan 15, Feb 19, Mar 19, Apr 16 and May 21), except June, July and August. We are dark on those months due to the school calendar. Meetings are usually at the Chamber office at 201 S. Magnolia Ave. in El Cajon.
