Committees play a pivotal role in the success and effectiveness of a Chamber of Commerce by providing a structured framework for members to collaborate, contribute, and drive initiatives forward. These dedicated groups serve as think tanks, fostering innovation and strategic planning to address the diverse needs of the business community.

The committee develops, renews, and markets membership through other community events, connecting with members, supporting registration desks on all of ACC’s events, and new member orientation. Also, the committee has subcommittees which are ambassadors and ribbon-cutting committees.
