Volunteers are an integral part of the Chamber and help to make our events successful. There are several events throughout the year that Volunteers are needed.
Volunteering is a great way to get to know business members and other members of the community.
The Chamber events can also offer great community service hours for students who may need volunteer hours for school or other organizations.
