Committees are essential to the Chamber’s mission, vision and objectives – and they’re fun! Our members enjoy participating in connecting new members to the Chamber, ensuring our ties to the military are strong, working with the City of Peoria to design tourism strategies, creating new business opportunities and serving as your voice in government.
