The Flagler County Chamber of Commerce is active on many fronts representing business interests, encouraging economic growth, collaborating with community partners, expanding member services and advocating on behalf of local businesses. Member committees play a significant role in these activities. 

Volunteering to serve on a committee is a great way to learn more about the community and help the Chamber effectively promote and shape a favorable business climate. It is also a good way to build rich and rewarding long-term professional relationships.

As part of the Chamber's strategic planning session of 2012, the organization streamlined its committees to more effectively support the Chamber's mission and vision.
