If you are passionate about businesses and Charters Towers, this is a great opportunity to assist in supporting our Business Community.
The Chamber Committee meet once per month and communicate regularly throughout the month.

Distribute to members via email, and as last resort by mail, any communications from the Management Meetings.
The position would suit someone with great organisational skills, experience in developing agendas, minute-taking and managing email effectively. Without these volunteer positions, small community groups like these cannot continue to operate - many hands make light work!
