Join a committee
Most Chamber committees meet one or twice per month for about an hour. Each committee chairperson reports to the Executive Director who is a member of all committees.
Committee members work independently as needed throughout the month. The combined effort enriches our organization and enhances our ability to succeed in our goals of improving the business climate and quality of life in Windsor.
Read about the committees and consider joining fellow business people who actively advocate business in Windsor. They’re also a great way to network!
