Committees

Pocono Chamber Committee meeting around conference table.

Volunteer leaders work together on various Chamber committees or in other ways to enhance our quality of life and to promote progress. As Monroe County continues to grow each year, so does the scope of the Chamber's work. Becoming a volunteer with your Chamber is an excellent way to network, get involved and make a difference in your Chamber and in your community.
