How the Board of Advisors Works

Because of the quality and depth of business leadership in Wake County and the Research Triangle region, the Chamber and the community benefit from the knowledge, experience, and interest of corporate CEOs and other business executives not currently serving on the Chamber’s Board of Directors. The Board of Advisors meets with the Board of Directors four times a year to offer input on current business and community issues.


Who is Eligible

  • Biannual new Board of Advisors member orientations with a substantive review of business and community issues from Chamber President Harvey Schmitt and the chair of the board.
