All working committees
of the Chamber consist of one volunteer Board Member Chair and at
least one Staff Liaison, who work together to set agenda.
Other Committee participants include any current “active”
member (ie. membership dues paid in full) of the Chamber, with the
exception of the Finance and the Economic Development Committees,
which are by appointment only.
If you have a
particular area of interest, we encourage you to please get involved.
New committee members and ideas are always welcome!
Just contact the Staff Liaison for more information,
including meeting times, dates and places or check out
the events calendar in the Navigator newsletter or here,
on our website.
