Committees are a big part of the West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce’s programs and strategic planning. By actively participating in a committee, you can bring your talents to the table and help shape and plan our programs and events. Committee participation is a great way for Members to network, promote their businesses and meet fellow Chamber Members.
Right now the West Hollywood Chamber is recruiting more Members for our various committees and there’s no better time to start than the beginning of a new year. Committees typically meet once a month and offer various opportunities for Chamber Members.
