"The Chamber has really helped me find my footing in Concord, and I cannot thank you enough. In the short time I have been here I have made so many connections and I can only see that growing."

Volunteers
Our dedicated volunteers are an essential part of our organization. These committees advocate for local businesses, provide educational programs for area students, beautify New Hampshire’s capital city and much more.
If you’re interested in serving on a committee, please reach out to the appropriate Chamber staff liaison.
Ambassadors
Ambassadors create connections with new members, and help existing members grow their professional network. They are the public relations arm of the Chamber, welcoming people to events, attending new business ribbon cuttings, and have a wealth of knowledge on the business community.
