Chamber committee involvement offers members an excellent opportunity to take an active role in planning and implementing programs and strategies to achieve the Chamber's goals. While participating on committees, you will be networking with other members, increasing the visibility of your company name and ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of your Chamber membership.

Please review the various committee descriptions below. We encourage you to list the committee(s) you find most interesting and/or assign key personnel from your organization to appropriate committees. Always keep in mind that your Chamber membership is a company-wide membership, so feel free to share this form with others in your company.

Once the Chamber receives your completed form, you will begin to receive meeting notices and other information on the chosen committees.

Sign up any time of the year! New members are always welcome!
