Needed: Volunteers for 2008
As 2007 comes to a close and preparation by the Board of Directors is underway for another exciting year in 2008, consider joining one of the Chamber’s eleven standing committees. New programs, revamped programs, and wonderful opportunities for engagement in the Chamber await members. As the 2008 Program of Work is being prepared by Committee Chairs and committees are reorganizing for the new year, now is an excellent time to join an RCC committee!
Every RCC committee is looking for new members to bring fresh ideas, plan and implement programs, and chart the future course for the Chamber and the community. Chamber committees are the source of a vibrant Chamber of Commerce and are critical to a Chamber’s success. All committee members are required to actively participate in monthly meetings and events when possible and help with the administration of the program.
Below is a list of all of the Chamber’s committees. Look over the descriptions to find out more about the activities and programs of your Chamber. Then, consider becoming involved and contact the staff liaison listed to find out how you can be a member of an RCC committee.
