Committees/Programs
Ambassador Committee
Ambassadors are the "listening ear" for the Chamber. They visit members, answer questions, encourage participation and welcome new members at monthly events. The Ambassador Committee meets regularly on the first Tuesday of the month at 4pm in the Chamber Conference room. For more information, contact Carol Acosta at cacosta@chambermv.org.

Business ConneXions
These leads and referral programs offer Chamber members the opportunity to make the most of their contacts through formal weekly leads exchanges. The fee is $55 for the first year and $35 for each consecutive year. Participation is based on a first-come first-serve basis, and anyone who does not get into a group right away (due to duplication of business types) will be put on a waiting list.

Building Task Force
The Chamber's Building Task Force was formed to find a long-term solution to the Chamber's facility plan. The Chamber is currently located in an office that was built 40 years ago for a staff of two. Today, with eight staff members, a growing membership, and a successful community, the Chamber of Commerce needs to relocate. We are looking for task force members who have experience in real estate, local development and/or capital campaigns!
