Committees & Peer groups

As a GSSCC member, joining a committee or peer group is a great way to connect with like-minded members, get involved with issues that interest you, and strengthen your leadership skills. GSSCC has a variety of committees and groups that can help deepen your involvement and maximize your membership. Most committees or peer groups meet once a month for about an hour. Participation is free and available to all employees of member businesses and organizations.
 
No time to commit to a committee, but still want to be involved from time to time? The Chamber often needs members to help with setup, registration, or staffing at our Major Annual Events. Just call the office and let us know when you’re interested.
