Board of Directors 2011-2012

The Chamber's Board of Directors is a group of select volunteers and staff members who meet to discuss the issues that effect Chamber membership. On a regular basis, issues, discussions and presentations are brought before the Board before being endorsed by its initiator. Issues needing endorsement are usually brought from the Chamber’s Issues Committee to the Executive Committee followed by the full Board of Directors. The Chamber’s Executive Committee is a select group of members from the Board of Directors which govern the operations of the Chamber.

Please contact Katherine Yon at (803) 733-1152 for more information.
