Would you like serve on the Chamber Board?
Every year in January your Webster City Area Chamber of Commerce replaces three of its board members. The slate of candidates is sent out to Chamber members to vote on and the top 3 candidates are placed on the Chamber of Commerce Board.
Each term runs 3-years. The board meets monthly, usually on the third Wednesday of the month at Noon at the Chamber office. Board members are responsible to uphold and advocate for the Chamber’s mission; and provide duty of due care, loyalty & obedience*.
You will be asked to send a headshot and answer the following questions:
- What skills, connections, resources, and expertise do you have to offer and are willing to use on behalf of the Chamber?
- As you think about the three primary board roles — ambassador, advocate, and asker — in what role(s) do you think you will want to be most active?
- How would you like to see the Chamber move forward in future?
You may also send a hard copy if you prefer to:
