The Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors will assign a Board member to be a part of each Advisory Committee in the future.

This is a change from the current setup where advisory committees send a person to the Chamber Board.

Dennis Beson, Chamber CEO, outlined the planned change. “Because I want the Boards to basically finish out the cycles that they’re in so that come 2017, actually all of our divisions – that’s another thing that we’ve been working on is aligning everybody so that they all change in January, instead of one in January, one in March, one in June and then one that doesn’t ever change for some reason.”

Beson said that it’s possible that in the future the person appointed from the Chamber Board is the Chair for the different division for that year – a one year term. “It’s going to allow our thirteen member Chamber Board to have a little bit more interaction, so it’s not the same person doing it for three years and it’s not the same to give some an opportunity to get some of our other Board members who may be interested in the different things, a chance to serve on an Advisory Committee.”

Beson reported on the plan to the Junction City Commission Tuesday evening.
