The Chamber’s work depends on people who contribute ideas, experience and time. You can help welcome a member, support an event or bring a business perspective into education. Start with an interest rather than a committee name; we can help you find an appropriate current opportunity.
Some people enjoy making introductions and helping guests feel comfortable. Others prefer organizing a gathering, sharing a technical skill or contributing ideas behind the scenes. Tell us what you enjoy doing and whether you are looking for an occasional activity or a more sustained role. That helps us discuss an opportunity with a clear purpose and a realistic time commitment.
The Chamber’s welcoming and Ambassador work is one route for people who enjoy building relationships. Event participation offers other possibilities, including business showcases, golf activities and recognition programs. The available responsibilities vary, so a conversation with the team should come before committing to a specific role.
Your everyday work may provide knowledge that others rarely encounter. Agriculture, technology, skilled trades, professional services and other fields all connect with the region in different ways. Sharing an industry perspective can help shape a useful discussion or introduce another member to an unfamiliar part of the local economy.
Education offers a practical way to contribute that experience. Through the Foundation, businesses can discuss career demonstrations, workplace introductions and other school–business activities. Leadership programs also depend on connections with people and organizations throughout the county. Explore BASICS and the leadership pages before contacting us about a possible contribution.
When discussing an opportunity, ask what the group is working toward, how often it meets, what preparation is involved and whom you will work with. For an event role, ask about the date, responsibilities and any setup or follow-up tasks. For school-related activities, the program lead can explain the arrangements that apply to that setting.
If you have an idea rather than a specific role in mind, share it with the Chamber. Explain whom it could serve and what you or your organization could contribute. We can discuss whether it fits an existing activity or needs further planning. Call 814-623-2233 or use the contact form to start.
