King Chamber of Commerce Chamber Committees

King Chamber of Commerce Committees

There are many great ideas for the execution of member programs and incentives in place, but sadly, as is common in volunteer organizations, there can be too few people to help execute the many projects that we would like to bring to our membership. With the effort of, and ownership by chamber members, we can escalate the timing for these programs. Please contact us if you wish to help bring some of these projects that will benefit not only you, but other members, the community and the chamber at large to life.
