MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

The Membership Committee is composed of individuals who are interested in helping the Chamber with retention and recruitment. It's a fun, energetic committee, composed of mostly sales professionals and business owners who utilize this opportunity to generate additional sales leads, all while helping the Chamber.

The committee meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month for lunch at a Chamber member restaurant from 11:30-12:30. The amount of work that this committee entails is minimal (approximately 1 hour a month, unless you have MORE time to give).

The Ambassador Committee is made up of individuals interested in being the 'meeters and greeters' and the 'movers and the shakers' at Chamber Events.  Ambassadors are an outgoing, dynamic group of business people with a real desire to build relationships with other chamber members. . .and to assist other members to do the same! 

The Ambassadors meet and greet at networking events, at grand openings, and whenever called upon to provide a chamber presence at community happenings.

There is a committee requirement that you sign a commitment form if you wish to join the committee, and that you agree to attend at least half of the Chamber events and meetings. We believe that in order to be effective as a relationship building committee, we need to be at the events.

This committee meets the 4th Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m.

This committee serves as an advisory body to the Burnsville City Council and the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors in the areas of economic development and re-development.

The ECG meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month in the City Council Chambers at 7:30 a.m.

This committee serves as a proactive voice for the business community, monitors business issues, educates the business community, and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors.  It also provides a forum for communication between government and the business community.

Business Day at the State Capital and a trip to Washington DC are two events in which committee members have the opportunity to participate.

GAC meets at 7:30 a.m. at the Chamber Office, usually on the 2nd Friday of each month, but meetings can change to keep in tandem with the State Chamber Conference calls. 

'BITE' OF BURNSVILLE COMMITTEE

The 'BITE' of Burnsville is the Chamber's big annual fundraiser, usually held in February or March.  This fundraiser provides income to the Chamber, and highlights our huge assortment of restaurant and catering members.  Silent and live auction fun, cash bar, entertainment, along with a LOT of great food make up activities at the BITE! 

The BITE Committee begins to meet as early as September 2007.  Depending on the subcommittee you would like to be involved with, i.e. decorations, silent auction, restaurants, etc., you can expect to meet approximately every month  to two weeks until the event, and are expected to help with set up the day before and of the event.

The BITE of Burnsville will be held in February of 2007 from 6 - 11 p.m.

The annual Burnsville Golf Classic is a great fundraising event for our members and businesses who like to golf!  We hold it at some of the best courses in the area - all chamber members of course!  The high caliber of golf, along with a day filled with networking and delicious food, make the golf classic tournament one many businesses want to hang their hat on as a sponsor. 

The members of this committee have a lot of fun planning this event!

Meetings begin approximately three months before the date of the tournament, which changes each year, but is usually held sometime in late in May or June. 

The 2008 Golf Classic is set for Monday, June 2nd at The Wilds Golf Club.
