SACC Committees
Committees are the backbone of our Chamber and we take pride in the events that the Committee Members organize. We are always looking for member volunteers who want to enhance their leadership, networking and communication skills by getting involved with the Chamber. Being on a committee is a great way to get connected with others in the community and to help plan and organize important events. What better way to meet new people, expand your network of connections and make a positive impact on the community than to take an active role in your Chamber of Commerce. If you are interested in participating on one or more of our committees, please contact Kathryn Wagner, Sussex Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director via phone at 262-246-4940 or email at info@sussexareachamber.org.
