The Chamber Board of Directors is comprised of 18 business professionals who bring a wealth of experience and diverse expertise.
​Per Chamber Bylaws:


"Our Board is a board of governance, determining the broad policies and directions under which the Chamber serves. It reviews and approves financial planning matters and annually adopts the organization’s budget. It appoints and reviews the performance of the President and reviews the operation of the overall Chamber, including its affiliates. It appoints and receives reports from committees. Its authority rests in the Board as a whole, not in its individual members."
