Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

The Warren County Regional Chamber of Commerce offers a variety of opportunities for its members to contribute to the growth, development and success of their business community. In order to plan and implement our quality programs and special events, the chamber relies on the varied skill sets of its members. The investment of time and energy pays off in the form of increased visibility, new friendships, valuable contacts and a healthier business environment.

Here are some of the opportunities that can enrich your membership experience.

Leadership Opportunities

The Executive Board comprises a Chairman, Chair-Elect, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. This board serves as the governing body for the full Board of Directors and meets once a month, prior to the monthly Board of Directors meeting.

Through correspondence, phone calls, or one-on-one meetings, the Ambassadors will interact with members, insuring that the members’ concerns or issues that may not affect the chamber as a whole are heard and addressed in a timely manner and with the full support of Chamber management. Ambassadors are required to make a 12-month commitment. Training is provided as well access to opportunities above and beyond those associated with regular membership.
