INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE CHAMBER
The more members that are involved with our Chamber, the stronger its voice becomes in the community. Likewise, the success of the Chamber is strongly affected by the involvement of its membership. An assortment of committees and task forces meet regularly to advance the organization’s program of work. There is a committee that meets the interests and talents of nearly everyone.
Our standing committees and special groups include: Ambassadors, Governmental Affairs, Health and Human Services, Women in Business, Young Professionals of the Palm Beaches (YPOP), Science & Technology and the Trustees.
Benefits Of Chamber Membership
Membership in our Chamber carries with it a number of significant benefits that help make business successful in an increasingly competitive South Florida marketplace.
Business Referral
Chamber staff responds to thousands of telephone, mail and Internet inquiries about the Palm Beaches, and answers thousands of local and national requests for recommendations on goods and services. The Chamber refers these requests to Chamber members. Members are encouraged to use the Membership Directory in print or online as their primary resource when purchasing products and services. Doing business with companies that share a commitment to the Chamber and the future of our community is good business.
Networking Events
The Chamber provides valuable networking events and functions that create opportunities for member s to interact with each other and gain new business contacts. Breakfasts, seminars, after-hours mixers, power networking lunches, Spring Training baseball, the annual dinner and silent auction, and the golf tournament provide a variety of opportunities for members to build relationships with other business leaders and entertain valued clients.
Also, the Chamber recognizes excellence in our business community each year with the Annual Business Awards and the ATHENA Leadership Awards events. For an up-to-date listing of special events, contact Special Events Coordinator Rachel Quismundo at (561) 421-5129 or rquismundo@palmbeaches.org.
