Committees

Committees are a great way to narrow down where you may want to get involved within the chamber. They also provide excellent opportunities to meet new people and promote your business! Call the chamber at 972-780-4990 to find out meeting times and locations your favorite committee.

Luncheon Programs
The staff and Executive Committee coordinates speakers, entertainment and door prizes for the monthly Membership Luncheons.

Membership is an important aspect of the chamber and we maximize our ability to grow our membership by demonstrating value to potential members and current members as well. One way we do that is through a one on one mentoring program that coaches new members in ways to make the most of their membership investments.
