hanover chamber of commerce committees

The Hanover Chamber of Commerce invites members to get engaged by becoming involved with a Chamber Committee. There are many committees open to any active member; we welcome and encourage you to participate. These small groups are great ways to connect with your fellow members and learn more about our community.

AIRPARK DIVISION

Specific support and programming to businesses within the Hanover Airpark footprint. This includes security initiatives, networking, programing and community events. See more on the Airpark Division webpage. Meets every other month.


CHAMBER AMBASSADORS

A Chamber Ambassador is excited and knowledgeable about our organization! Ambassadors help recruit new members, attend and assist with ribbon cuttings, and serve as great connectors to new members attending events. Ambassadors are a wonderful extension of our staff, ever-present promoters and essential to our success. Meets quarterly.


CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

This team will focus on maintaining and creating strong local and regional relationships. It will help ensure the chamber is functioning as a reliable conduit of key business, workforce, legislative and property rights topics, as well as working to ensure our local businesses are a priority to our county’s leaders and elected officials. Meets quarterly.



COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING

PROGRAMMING

Helps to build a calendar of regular Chamber events that include networking opportunities, business building workshops and community updates, while ensuring the programs provide not only a social aspect but always something of value. This committee will also consider the viability of new or special events or community engagement projects. Meets October to February.




Parades
