Committees
The Chamber relies on the efforts of members to fill numerous volunteer positions which help shape a thriving community. Chamber committees and task forces work with the professional staff to carry out the Action Plan developed by the Board of Directors to best represent the interests of our membership.
Committee and task force participation is a privilege of Chamber membership. Please let the Chamber staff know if you are interested in serving on a committee or would like more information about any of our programs.
