Chamber Committees

We encourage and welcome folks to be active in the Chamber committees.  We have a core group committees within the Chamber, all working to promote businesses, the community and the entire area.  Committees are formed around key topics, events and promotions that bring visitors to the community, encourage and support business in the community, and recognizes and celebrates contributions and achievements of so many that make Seward and Seward County a great place to live, work, and do business.
