Gain Membership Value by Volunteering
Volunteers are what make the Richardson Chamber of Commerce so successful. Volunteers also receive value and a greater return on their membership dollar by getting involved in our events, becoming a sponsor, and getting to know members.
There are many ways for you to get involved. The Chamber has several committees that you can get involved in, download more information here about joining a committee. Committee involvement can promote your business, put you in front of your target market, give you credibility in the community, learn about your peers, gain respect, and make you feel great about giving back to your community! There are several committees and one that is right for you, so sign up today!
Another way to get involved in the chamber is by attending one of our many events. The Signature luncheon series features prominent corporate leaders from around the Metroplex who bring their stories of success in business to the membership, and it's held the second Thursday of the month. The annual banquet recaps accomplishments of the previous year, honors the Citizen of the Year and features a noted speaker at an evening banquet. The  business and industry lunch recaps the business growth of Richardson and recognizes area businesses for their part in promoting the community and is coming up on November 1. EarlyNet is held every Wednesday morning and is an open networking group meeting to promote business relationships. The event features speakers from member companies. Every fall the Richardson Chamber of Commerce hosts the RCC Golf Classic and is so much fun - check out the pictures from this year.
