River Country Chamber Annual Meeting 2023

Description

Make plans now to attend our River Country Chamber of Commerce Annual Membership Meeting. Join us May 4th at the Heritage Museum of Newaygo County (Yes, it is a venue, too!) for an evening of robust conversation, good food and laughs with friends. Doors open at 5:30pm!

Our members serve a vital role in the operations of the Chamber.  The Annual Dinner Meeting and Election of Board of Directors is a great way to ensure your voice is heard, we want to hear from you!

Are there open board seats? Yes! We currently have two open seats! Please call us or email krider@rivercountrychamber for more information.
