CHAMBER COMMITTEES
One of the best ways to grow your business and maximize your membership is by getting involved in a committee. The nearly dozen working committees of the Chamber are the life-blood of our organization. With dedicated Chairs serving in a leadership capacity, each committee does important work to meet goals set in the Chamber’s annual
Business Plan. Most committees meet monthly on a set day and time at the Chamber and are listed on our Chamber’s calendar.
Unless otherwise noted, committees of the Chamber are open to all members. To join a committee, click here to send an email listing the committees you would like to join. A Chamber staff member will contact you with upcoming meeting information.
