Committee Engagement

Our Committees

As the voice of business for the Waunakee/Westport area, the Chamber depends upon the ideas and energies of the Board of Directors and member volunteers to help develop projects, policy and programs. Through the committee structure, the Board and its members help set the course of the organization and ensure that the Chamber’s actions are an accurate expression of the needs and concerns of the business community. As an investor in our organization, you are encouraged to actively participate in the process of ensuring the success of our area as a great place to live, work and conduct business!

The Chamber's objectives are best achieved by small groups of the membership engaged in common effort. Money, planning, inspiration and guidance are useless unless the members work vigorously on the committee of their choice.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors represent our members, business and community. Board of Director terms are three years and meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month. Click below for an application:
