Committees & ​Volunteer Opportunities

Becoming an active member of a committee is a great way to get more involved with the Chamber and to meet fellow members. Our committee meetings are typically held once per month at the Chamber office and meetings are for one hour. 
Chamber Ambassadors play a vital role in promoting and maintaining member engagement. Ambassadors are responsible for personally welcoming new member businesses and guiding them through all the benefits the Chamber has to offer. Ambassadors also assist in retaining current Chamber membership, reaching out to existing members on a regular basis to ensure that the organization is providing value to them. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 8:30 am at the Chamber office. Meet the Ambassadors! To join or for questions regarding the Ambassador Committee, please contact the Chamber office at [email protected] 
The GWCC Engagement Committee was founded to ensure that our members voices are heard. The group focuses on three key areas:  member connection, market research, and retention. Members of this committee, "Connectors," work with members of the Ambassador committee to improve the member experience! Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 8:30 am at the Chamber office. Meet the Connectors! To join or for questions regarding the Member Engagement Committee, please contact Jenn Paster Detmer at [email protected]​
