Executive/Foundation Board of Directors
Board of Directors
Our Board of directors oversees the direction of the Chamber. As the organization's community representation and pillars, 9 individuals make up our Chamber Board of Directors/Main Street Board. Furthermore, 5 seats of our Chamber Board serve dual roles as our Executive Board which also serves as our Foundation Board.
Transformational Strategies Committee
The Transformational Strategies Committee is a group of volunteers that works with the Executive Director, and by extent the Chamber, to strategize and execute community programs, projects, initiatives, activities and events to further the goal and mission of the Chamber. While the committee does convene as one strategic think tank, the committee is divvied up into multiple sub-committees/divisions (see below) that focus on certain goals through specific projects. Based on the 4 prong Main Street Approach initialized by Main Street America.
