Who We Are!

The Headland Area Chamber of Commerce members are the organization's backbone and comprise the pool of resources from which ideas, growth, and financial support are drawn. The Chamber organizes and directs its resources to improve its community by fostering the growth of its local businesses. The chamber empowers its members to accomplish collectively what may be difficult individually.

Who leads the organization?
The governing body of the Headland Area Chamber is its Board of Directors. From small business owners to local citizens, the 12 member board represents a cross-section of the Chamber's membership. The Board’s function is to determine policy for the organization. The Board is also responsible for the organization’s finances, considers and approves the budget, and determines the appropriate membership investment schedule.
The Chamber also employs an executive director, who manages the organization's day-to-day functions, including planning and hosting special events and promoting the business community and Headland’s assets.
How does the Chamber support the business community?
The Chamber performs many functions to foster the growth of the business community. Entrepreneurs are the foundation of the economy. The Chamber recognizes the role of these individuals' contributions to the local economy and continues to work to be their advocate at all levels of government. We will continue to provide and improve the networking and knowledge-building events and programs that meet their specific and unique needs. It is important to us that our members have the tools necessary to achieve success when doing business in the local community.
