Program of Work

The Chamber has honed its focus into three key areas: Business, Workforce and Quality of Life and developed a Plan of Work to support each area.  The Board of Directors come together at the end of each calendar year to reflect, plan and develop strategies for staff to implement throughout the following year.  The desired outcome from this strategy and planning session is to develop a comprehensive Plan of Work that positions our Chamber for long term success and economic vitality.

The Chamber's Vision is clear in 2020 as we support Business, Workforce and Quality of Life through our Program of Work.
