Board of Directors

2012 Board of Director Election

The St. Francis Area Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for individuals interested in joining the Board of Directors. This year, three of the nine-board member positions are up for election. Each board member serves a three-year term. Nominations may be placed by yourself or someone else may nominate you. If you are nominated by another individual, you will be contacted to verify your interest. The Nominating Committee will review the applications of those prospective Board members and a list of candidates will be mailed to the general membership in November for election. Nominations must be received by October 31, 2011. Interested? Complete and return the Nomination Form now!

The St. Francis Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is committed to working hard for you, to maintain and improve our area's economic vitality and represent the business community on local and state issues.

The Chamber is run by a volunteer board of directors elected by the chamber membership. Various committees also help plan chamber events and activities. The Chamber employs a part-time service representative who manages the day-to-day operations of the Chamber.

The Chamber makes a profit only through membership dues and two annual fundraisers. That money goes back into Chamber events and projects to benefit members and the community. View our bylaws.

The Chamber board meets the third Wednesday of every month at 11 a.m. at the St. Francis Community Center (next to city hall). Meetings are open to all. Visit the events page for upcoming locations.
