Being a board member brings two immediate benefits: a 20% reduction in your 2013 membership dues and promotion of your business. Please contact the chamber office if you or an employee or co-worker would like to have a voice in chamber directives. The two open board positions are a two-year committment; one 90 minute meeting a month and some volunteer hours throughout the year at varied chamber functions. |
