Serving on a committee is one of your strongest relationship building tools, working side-by-side with other business leaders. Chamber members can join the Small Business Community committee, which plans events and activities that benefit the service, educational and networking goals of the committee. Your involvement makes a difference!
Committee meetings are held monthly on the third Thursdays at 8:30 am via Zoom or in person at the Chamber offices. If you're interested in joining, fill out the volunteer form. We will contact you to place you on future calendar invites.
If you're interested in sponsoring Small Business Community events, please contact us.
