Chamber Committees

Much of the work done by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce is accomplished by committees - and strong committees make a strong Chamber. Committees provide a training ground that prepares members for leadership roles in the community. They also make it possible for the Chamber to extend its reach, and thereby, expand its work in the community.

Becoming an active committee member provides these benefits: the opportunity to share business knowledge and skills; develop new relationships; build business network; and develop leadership skills. Any member of the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, in good standing, may join a committee.
