2025 AMBASSADOR CHAIR
An advertisement tagline from the 80s boasted that “Membership has its privileges.” Just as carrying a particular credit card offered exciting opportunities and rewards available only to members, the Wylie Area Chamber of Commerce truly believes that membership matters.
Your membership in the Wylie Area Chamber of Commerce provides affordable and effective Networking, Advocacy, and Education programs throughout the year. These range from workshops and conferences designed to help you grow your business to community and social events that help foster relationships beneficial to all of us. Many are available only to chamber members.
Your Chamber board of directors and staff have invested hours of time planning for 2025. Many of the events we have planned are based on member feedback and suggestions. And we will continue to look for innovative ways to help all of our over 425 members reach their full potential.
I encourage you to get involved with us. From the various event committees to the Wylie Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, you can help shape your chamber. Just ask any board or staff member how you can serve.
Thank you for allowing us to lead this great organization. Membership matters!
