Committees

The Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce offers many ways to get involved in the community. Several committees are looking for individuals with knowledge in certain areas of expertise. Call the Chamber for more details.

Ambassador Club
The Ambassador Club is a group of dedicated volunteers from various businesses throughout the Colorado Springs community. These members act as a liaison between the Chamber and businesses that are Chamber members. Their mission is to welcome, nurture, and recruit new Chamber members, act as goodwill representatives at various Chamber functions, and aid in the support of members.

Business Leader Roundtables
The Chamber of Commerce offers three distinct roundtable opportunities. These include roundtables for all business leaders and decision makers; roundtables tailored to the needs of women business leaders, and roundtables aimed at supporting our Rising Professionals ages 21-39. All of the roundtables are designed to provide participants outside perspectives from their peers about business challenges and recommended solutions.

Legislative Watch Council
The Legislative Watch Council (LWC) works from a strategic standpoint that enhances local private enterprise and promotes the promise of our region towards healthy economic opportunities. It consists of chamber members with an interest in legislation reviewing public policy and working on legislation and public policy. This program allows the Chamber to be a pivotal force in helping to shape the state’s public policy agenda on key issues relevant to our Membership. This council is open to all Chamber members who express an interest. If you have questions on the LWC please contact Jessica McMullen at 575-4327 or at jmcmullen@cscc.org.

Members of the LWC participate in the following mission:

The Greater Colorado Springs Chamber Political Action Committee (ChamberPAC)
ChamberPAC, the Chamber-sponsored political action committee, represents a grassroots effort to elect positive, pro-business candidates to public office and advocate on ballot issues and initiatives. The committee identifies, endorses, and provides election support to qualified candidates whose principals are consistent with those of business and industry. It is the only political action organization representing the overall business community in Southern Colorado. ChamberPAC operates solely on the contributions of individuals and businesses who want to ensure positive political leadership for the future. Although ChamberPAC is affiliated with the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, its funding is entirely separate. To find out more or to contribute to ChamberPAC send an e-mail to: stephannie@cscc.org.

Military Affairs Activities
Military Affairs Council - The Military Affairs Council (MAC) was founded in 1941, and it is one of the oldest and most pre-eminent councils of its kind. Events and programs sponsored by the MAC include:

Defense Mission Task Force
The Defense Mission Task Force (DTMF) is a group of volunteers who help resolve problems identified by the military - problems that require civilian community support and assistance. The task force also assists with improving ties between the military bases and the community, and keeps informed of the military's privatization of various functions within their structure.

Task force volunteers are active in promoting the necessity of our military presence not only for the business community, but also for the sake of national security and defense. At least once a year, the Defense Mission Task Force meets with legislators locally and nationally to ensure a mutual understanding of the military's vital existence in country and our community.
