Introducing the Social Media Engagement Committee!
We're committed to harnessing the power of social media. Started in June 2024, we're dedicating two days every month to helping create social media content for our chamber members. As there are a limited amount of businesses we can visit in a day, we've created a sign up sheet linked below if you'd like to take advantage! We'll send out a new sign up sheet in every monthly newsletter for that month's openings. Whether you're a seasoned social media guru or just dipping your toes into the digital waters, we're here to help!
