Joining a committee may be a daunting thought at first. However, committee involvement can benefit you and your organizations in numerous different ways! Promoting your business, meeting new contacts, learning new skills and becoming a leader are just a few advantages of joining a committee.
Promoting Your Business…
Various committees interact with all Chamber Members. This results in committee members having multiple opportunities to interact with others within Your Chamber. Your involvement increases the chance of promoting your organization to other members. You never know if one of these other members could be a potential client! Committee involvement also gives your company visibility within the community.
Learn New Skills…
Involvement within committees provides constant learning opportunities. Working together with a committee that shares ideas and best practices to help each other catapult Your Chamber to the next level is a HUGE benefit to anybody and any company!!! The information shared in these social networking outlets and the best ways to use them not only benefits the North Clackamas Chamber of Commerce, but also all of your clients and your business as a whole. This is the way of the new economy and what better place to learn about these tools than at a professional organization that you already have a membership with! Most people pay to learn these skills, however, committee involvement provides so many different experiences that we are able to work together and learn from each other.
Become a Leader…
Opportunities are there for you to become a leader within your organization. Associating yourself with a professional organization appears to other industry folks that you are investing in your future. Most individuals can be selective when choosing who to do business with or even to hire. The hope is that most companies and individuals will lean towards people who are involved with professional organizations that hold high standards. As a leader in Your Chamber, you also have the opportunity to utilize all your great ideas and make a difference within the chamber. This provides a great opportunity to stay involved and keep others involved as well!
