1. Communications Committee- The communications committee was formed to continually evaluate and implement the most cost effective and efficient methods of communication between our members, the Chamber Board and the Woodstock community.  Our vision is that the Chamber of Commerce becomes the "NEXUS" for business in the Woodstock community.  Our goal is to have the membership provide goods and services to each other to strengthen the relationship and economic status within the community.  The committee focuses on increasing partnerships and business relationships through the utilization of the following communication methods.  The internet, Chamber web site, newsletters, local media, direct mail, face to face communication and social media.  The committee meets once a month at the Chamber office.

3. Membership Committee- Meets twice a month to strengthen the membership of the WCCI. The Membership Committee will follow up to new members for the first six months of joining, ensuring the new member attends mixers, all member events and is introduced to other chamber members. Membership drives will take place in the future and this committee will coordinate such events with the Chamber Staff. The Membership Committee will deliver pertinent member information in forms of e-mails or faxes. The Committee will also work the Chamber Staff on upcoming member events, with personal phone call reminders to membership. The Membership Committee with work with the Chamber Staff in identifying new recruitment ideas and member incentives, to retain and attract members. This Committee is vital for the future of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce. At least one Board Member will reside on this committee.


All Committees must be consisted of Woodstock Chamber of Commerce Members and at least one Board of Director from the WCCI. The Chamber will allow a guest or non-member to attend a meeting, though no more than three times. The Chamber feels that after three visits, a guest or non-member is able to make an educated decision on whether or not to join the Chamber. We certainly hope the guest or non-member will decide to join and continue serving on a committee. The Chamber will make available the Board Room located in the back of the Chamber office to committees. However, the Chamber will need to be informed three weeks in advance if you would like to reserve the Board Room. No fee will be charged.
