Committees

Chamber Community Involvement

Getting involved in a committee is a great way to support the community while making valuable business contacts. Regardless of your field of work or special interests, your involvement will help you grow personally and professionally.

Committee involvement is an opportunity to lead, learn, and lend a hand. Committees are open to members. Contact your chamber representative to learn more or to join a committee.

Remember, the more you put into membership, the more you’ll… Well, you know the rest!
