Committees
The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce’s strength comes from its member business leaders who drive its vision of being “The Champion for the Greater Miami Business Community.” Leaders come to the Chamber and volunteer their valuable time and considerable talents to serve on our Board with an eye towards growing their business through networking, advocacy and education and by active participation in our program and standing committees.
Almost all of the work of the Chamber gets done through committees which are grouped together and organized by industry. All Committee are focused on addressing Chamber priorities: Transportation, Workforce Development & Education, Workforce Housing and Resilience.
