Committees & Working Groups
Fall River Chamber Committees enable members to become involved in the work of their Chamber and the future of our region. Committee members learn from and build lasting relationships with their peers, while effecting change in the Chamber itself, municipal and state government, businesses and industries represented by the Chamber and in the community at large. The Chamber is governed by a set of Standing Committees. Our work on longer term challenges and opportunities takes place in a growing set of project-oriented committees, and when short-term issues need to be addressed, we form ad-hoc committees which disband after their work is done.
The Ambassadors work to welcome new members and visit continuing members throughout the year, and serve as our representatives when new companies have ribbon cuttings or grand opening ceremonies.
The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting a qualified auditor each year, for receiving and reviewing the annual audit, and for presenting it, and recommendations it may contain, to the Board of Directors and Staff.
The Awards Committee is responsible for the annual selection of recipients for the various Chamber awards programs.
The Bylaw Committee is responsible for maintaining a clear and effective set of bylaws to guide the governance and mission of the Chamber. The Nominating Committee handles the annual job of filling vacancies on the Board of Directors, and monitors Board Member attendance and participation.
The Education Committee facilitates communications between community leaders in order to raise educational attainment, encourage workforce preparedness, and elevate the quality of life in the Greater Fall River Community.
The Executive Committee consists of the 9 officers of the corporation, headed by the Chairman of the Board. It acts for and on behalf of the Board of Directors when not in session, and is accountable to the Board for all its actions. The Executive Committee reviews and approves most of the recommendations of the other Chamber Committees and sets the agenda for the monthly Board of Director’s meetings.
The mission of the Fall River Executive Exchange (F.R.E.E.) is to, by referrals; help like-minded white collar sales professionals increase their book of business in the greater Fall River area.
