The Chamber has created volunteer leadership committees to support key initiatives that keep our organization, and what we offer to our membership and our community, on the cutting-edge. Committee coverage runs the gamut from macro issues that affect our community, such as transportation, education and tourism, to managing specific Chamber events and initiatives, like our popular Business Expo, ribbon cuttings for new businesses, and membership development.
Each committee is led by a group of talented business professionals who volunteer their leadership skills to forward the Chamber’s initiatives and make a difference. Committee work is an excellent way to meet fellow business professionals while serving your community.
If you are interested in joining one of our committees, please contact us at (239) 992-2943.
