Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce has several Special Events Committees which are comprised of members who volunteer to serve as the "extended staff" of the Chamber. Members of these committees assist in making decisions for some of the Chambers largest events & fundraisers so it does not fall on the staff!

In 2026 we have an active Golf Committee & Lights Up/ Parade Committee
