The Currituck Chamber of Commerce holds a number of events that invite member participation. Business after Hours is an opportunity for members to make valuable new business contacts in a relaxed social setting.  The more connected you are, the more opportunities you have to increase sales, make wise investments, influence opionion and hire the best people.  That is the power of partnership. Educational opportunities such as "Knowledge Bites" sessions are offered for our business owners and staff, and include topics such as networking, sales, time mangement, business planning, customer service and retirement, etc. The Currituck Business and Community Expo, held each year in March, is an opportunity for local businesses, community organizations, governement agencies, and non-profit groups to market themselves and their products/services to the local community at large, as well as to other businesses and organizations.

      If you would like to volunteer with the Chamber,

            there are several ways to get involved.      

You may join our Ambassador Program to recruit and mentor new members and to serve as a community voice for the Chamber. The Ambassador committee serves as volunteer liaisons between the Chamber and its members and develops a positive awareness in the community of the chamber through goodwill.  Ambassadors (and Ambassador Teams) recruit new members and encourage their involvement through the Member Mentorship Program.  They serve as "greeters" for the Welcome Wagon program and assist in the coordinating and distributing of information for Chamber events. This is a great way to get to know others in the business community while supporting the Chamber!
