 LEAD
YOUR CHAMBER
This is the time of year when your Board
Chairman appoints a Nominating Committee meets to vet Board Expectations, review
applications and after hours of meeting, present a slate to the Membership for
your approval. The Committee of your peers is in place, with representatives of
the Chamber’s various networks, committees and groups.
Now all we need is you – our future
Board of Directors!
Please take a few moments to review the
Board Job and Expectations
and
Nomination Form.
The Chamber’s
Beliefs and Values Statement as
well as the
Strategic Plan will provide you with the
knowledge of the current direction of the Board. Nominations can be from a
Member in good standing, or by self-nomination.
The Downers Grove Area Chamber of Commerce &
Industry is YOUR Chamber. Please consider leading it!
