2024-2025 CHAMBER GROUPS AND COMMITTEES
Committees are one of the best ways to get involved in the Chamber and the community. Participating in committee meetings is an effective way to establish yourself as a local expert and community leader, as well as create connections with other business leaders while working towards a common goal. Whether you want to help shape public policy, plan an event, or just learn from your peers, we've got a committee for you!
All committees are open for members and non-members to attend unless otherwise noted. Stop by a meeting or ask us to be added to the email list to become a part of the conversation.
