Committees

Take an active role in the Salmon Arm Business Community!

We welcome all chamber members to provide input and support to Chamber initiatives. Committees are formed with specific objectives to help the Chamber best support the needs of the Salmon Arm Business Community. Within a Committee, members share insight, ideas and brainstorm recommendations that the Committee Chair brings to the Board of Directors. Involvement in Committees really depends on the member’s desire to assist and which tasks they wish to take on to help meet the initiatives set out by the Chamber Board of Directors.

Board committees look at governance and policy within the Chamber of Commerce and report directly to the Board of Directors, the Staff Committees are operational in nature and deal with the day-to-day activities of the Chamber of Commerce, and the committee reports directly to the Executive Director.
