Chamber Committees

Committees and Meeting Times

Ambassadors (Meet for lunch once a quarter)
The Ozark Chamber Ambassadors are an extension of our brand.  Like our paid staff and Board of Directors, Ambassadors are out in the community engaging with organizations and other business professionals on a regular basis.  In order for the Ozark Chamber to effectively identify and meet the needs of our members, we need a passionate, engaged group of individuals that can represent the Chamber AND our members, depending upon the setting.

Economic Development (Meets at 4:00pm the first Wed. of the odd months, ie: Jan, Mar, May, etc…)
Community leaders from all sectors of industry and government are represented on the Economic Development Committee. Collectively we plan and implement programs to impact the Ozark economy through business retention and expansion efforts. The primary focus is to open lines of communication between all vested parties to sure we are moving forward.

Education (Meeting times vary)
The Ozark R-VI School District is the #1 asset of our community. The Education committee is a group of business leaders dedicated to supporting the next generation. This committee plans programs such as Adopt-A-Class and the New Teacher Welcome.

Legislative Affairs (Meets at 4:00pm the 1st Monday of every month)
A group of volunteers dedicated to improving Public Policy in the Southwest Missouri. They attend monthly meetings and will engage their federal, state and local elected officials on a range of issues important to business leaders.
