Get Involved
|
Looking for a new way to get involved with the Chamber? We have plenty of volunteer opportunities available. Depending on your particular skills or interests there may be something of interest to you that would allow you meet other Chamber members while helping out the organization.
With a staff of just two people, we rely on member support to help us carry out our mission. Most opportunities require less than an hour a month of involvement and many are still virtual.
Here are a few to consider:
Golf Tournament - we need on site volunteers to help with registration, raffle sales, and on course activities. You get a day in the sun and a free meal too!
ChamberTalks Committee - help us organize our 3rd Annual ChamberTalks event. We need ideas for great speakers.
Ambassadors - The face of the Chamber. Welcome new members to the Chamber and help them to maximize their membership.
Membership Committee - Help us recruit new members to the organization. More new members means more opportunities to connect and a stronger voice for local business.
In addition, we have openings on the Communications Committee and the Education and Business Committee. There are also opportunities to help out with our Young Professionals, Women's Leadership Alliance, Elder Care Alliance and Human Resources Alliance.
Your involvement in any of these can help shape our programs and events as we return to in-person activities.
If you would like to get involved, learn more or have questions, email me at tom@nrrchamber.com or call 781-769-1126.
Best,
Tom O'Rourke, President and CEO
