The Greater Richmond Chamber offers a variety of opportunities to get involved, from committee participation to program leadership to Board service. The sliders above provide a brief overview of successive options, with '1' being opportunities for new members, and '4' listing opportunities for more significant engagement.   

The Chamber is only as strong as the sum of its members. Your involvement demonstrates your commitment to this community, and in turn, your business will benefit by the increased exposure, network and access. Each month the Chamber selects a Volunteer of the Month, who is profiled in the first issue of "GRCC News" (email) that month.

We invite you to review the list of opportunities below and complete a volunteer interest form. Email or fax the form to Richard Wintsch, fx (804) 783-9301. A representative will contact you with more information on your committee of interest.

TESTIMONIALS

• "At Kings Dominion, we realized that the best way to get the most value from our membership was to actively participate. It is an awesome experience to involve yourself in a program that goes beyond your own company's walls. You realize that by working with others you can truly make your community a better place to live and grow," – Owen Matthews, Kings Dominion

• "Government and community affairs complement each other very well, and through the GRCC committee process and the efforts of many talented people, we are focused on bringing greater value to the membership and hopefully helping to build an even stronger region. We are not only focusing on the public policy issues confronting us but are also placing an emphasis on the opportunities and challenges that are a part of this region," – Ned Massee, MWV

• “The Chamber is an invaluable resource to the Richmond Community and I am proud to help out any way I can!” – Kevin Currie, Hometown Realty
