Our Board Advocacy Committee helps owners stay informed and makes sure decision-makers hear from the business community.

A voice and a network

From our Board Advocacy Committee: “As Chamber Board Members, and as local business owners, we are committed to ensuring that our business community has a voice and a qualified resource to stay informed. Having a network to lean on and knowing that there are people in our community who have your back plays a huge part in making our Villages a place where people love to do business.”

Top business concerns

Since 2021 we have published a list of the top concerns facing local businesses, compiled with feedback from our members and our Board of Directors. We use these lists as the basis for strategic planning with both villages, our partner agencies, and business owners themselves.

Our most recent list covers 2023.

Tell us what you are seeing.

Share a question or a concern about doing business here, and we will bring it to the right conversation.
