Mission: To provide our under 40 members with their own forum to cultivate relationships, develop professionally and support the community.
 
Enjoy the camaraderie of business professionals aged 21-39 from a variety of sectors with similar career experiences. Network with other chamber members, both inside and outside the committee, developing opportunities for business. Learn from older professionals how they achieved success – and what they expect from the younger generation. Hone business skills to make you more effective today and as your career develops – and help accelerate that development.

Benefits of participating in this forum include:

• Expanding your network of business contacts and increasing your visibility through attendance, participation and volunteering
• Strengthening your leadership or teamwork skills by joining a subcommittee or serving as a subcommittee chair
• Broadening your knowledge base and skills through useful programs and presentations, including learning from both your peers and more experienced professionals

Programs and events include:

• Monthly Forums – Monthly meetings that allow for networking, sharing of experiences and ideas and skills development with guest speakers.
• Executive Roundtables – Small breakfast meetings to enable mentoring and education by successful experienced business professionals.
• Group Volunteer Activities – Group efforts supporting community human services agencies and giving drives.

Subcommittees:

• Group Volunteer Activities – Organizing community support volunteer outings
• Networking Events – Organizing chamber-wide networking events sponsored by the committee.
