About the Associate Board

Made up of emerging leaders ages 25-40 of all genders, representing businesses of all sizes within all industries, the CWCC’s Associate Board (formally the YP Board) is designed to support and create programming for the CWCC community and emerging leaders as they navigate their careers and businesses. This is done through quarterly professional development and social opportunities.

Networking events are planned by the Associate Board and open to anyone from the CWCC community regardless of age or gender.

Members of this board also support the larger chamber with member engagement to the CWCC community, fundraising, and serving on board sub committees.
