President's Club volunteers recruit new members, welcome new
members, assist with Chamber projects and generally promote
the Chamber. Volunteer teams earn points for various activities.
The individual and team that accumulates the most points each
quarter receive a recognition gift. The "President's Award" recognizes
the individual with the highest number of points at the end
of the year.
