Committees & Volunteers

Action through Volunteers and Committees

The heart of the Chamber is the work of our volunteer committees. The committees are formed to meet the needs recognized by members for the benefit of business and the community. A thriving community depends on the strengths of its business community.

Chamber Ambassador Committee

The Ambassador Committee helps bring the Chamber’s mission to life by welcoming new members, spreading the word about Chamber events, and keeping our business community connected. Ambassadors are friendly faces you’ll see at ribbon cuttings and networking events, making sure members feel supported, valued, and part of the fun.
