Volunteer with the Chamber
The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce can use your help! Come out and be a volunteer for some of our upcoming exciting and worthwhile events. It's a great way to get involved with the community, meet people and have fun.
The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer based organization in which members sit on various committees to explore and address issues of importance to the local business community. A large portion of the work is performed by the committee members and the Chamber staff assists in facilitating and carrying out the plans. Ad hoc committees are formed as needed.
Volunteers are vital to the success of the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce. Volunteers are always welcome at the Chamber and besides our various committees, there are a variety of ways volunteers can help out including in the office, at business mixers, and at special events. It is a great way to meet business contacts in the Carleton Place area!
At the Chamber, we will make all attempts to match the "right person to the right job" in order to make your volunteer experience an enjoyable and interesting one. In addition, we offer a wide range of opportunities with varying time commitments to accommodate the needs of our membership and their busy schedules.
