The Peoria Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is comprised of local members of the Peoria business community.
The Board Development Committee is charged with aligning the Board to the Chamber’s strategic objectives and representing the entire business community. This means the Board benefits from small to large business representation. Serving on the Board is through a selection/election process that includes submitting an application, resume and participating in a panel interview. The Board is always seeking leaders in Peoria and the West Valley to serve. The annual selection/election process occurs in April and May.
