Volunteers follow Modesto redevelopment issues and the progress of Tenth Street Place. Volunteers work with local government agencies to address public transportation improvements and funding alternatives. Members review local and state legislation and regulations affecting the business community, and make recommendations to the Chamber Board for recruiting, endorsing and supporting pro-business candidates. Committee members explore opportunities in the world of technology that may be used to better position member businesses, the Modesto Chamber and our community in today's competitive marketplace. The committee organizes one or two educational agricultural events per year which help raise scholarship funds for Modesto High School Future Farmers of America programs.
Volunteers assist with planning and soliciting sponsorships and provide assistance at events.
These visits allows us to gather information from our members as well as educate them on Chamber issues. In addition, Ambassadors assist at various Chamber events, including set-up, serving, greeting and mixing. Volunteers must assist with at least 50 percent of all events. This is a great opportunity for volunteers to network with the business community. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
