Volunteer with the Chamber!
Are you interested in volunteering with the Kyle Chamber? Then you've come to the right spot!
BASH's are a free event that happen once a month that allow the members to have an informal get together to network and meet new people in the business community. The chamber team is always looking for an extra set of hands to help with loading/unloading, setting up and cleaning after the event. If you have an hour to spare before or after the event, we'd appreciate the help!
Through out the year, the chamber plans several events. If you'd like to be invloved with an event but can't serve on a committee, we still have a spot for you! Duties include registering guests, day-of-event tasks etc.
If you'd like more information on volunteering with the chamber, please email Sylvia Gallo at [email protected] or call our office at 512-268-4220.
