The Small Business Council is a very important committee of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce. It was created to be the Voice of the Small Business Community and to provide guidance to the Chamber on small business needs. These volunteers work hard to make a difference in the business community.

The Council is made up of Chamber member volunteers who own, work for, or actively serve small businesses throughout Northwest Arkansas. Some of the roles of the Council include selecting an Outstanding Small Business of the Quarter, selecting educational seminar topics, and conducting the bi-monthly Chamber Tutorial (formerly known as Member Orientation).
