NEW MEMBERS : This committee welcomes new members and helps them feel comfortable with our Chamber.  Committee members make regularly scheduled phone calls and act as a buddy to our newest members.  Being a “buddy” involves delivering plaques and new member information, making phone calls, arranging to meet new members at events, sitting with them and introducing them to others.

EXISTING MEMBERS: Our members are important to us and we want them to know it! We want to make sure that they are aware of the new services that we offer and the programs that we have to assist them.  We also want to know what they need, like, and how we can serve them. The volunteers on this committee make calls to members to "touch base," establish a personal contact and maintain an ongoing dialogue.
