STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP
The Fauquier Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors serves as the primary resource for the growth and enhancement of our local business community.
Functioning in a mainly legislative capacity, the Board establishes all organizational policies and determines strategic goals through a dedicated program of work. By identifying professional needs and achieving goals, these leaders help shape a strong business climate that supports the collective prosperity of every member.
The Board's core responsibilities include ensuring legal and ethical integrity, maintaining financial stability, and providing the resources necessary to fulfill the Chamber's mission. Directors are specifically tasked with selecting and evaluating the Chief Executive, establishing the dues structure, and monitoring the effectiveness of all programs and services to ensure they provide maximum value. As individuals, board members act as essential links to the community, actively consulting with the membership to ensure that board actions remain truly representative of member interests.
This leadership is managed by an Executive Committee led by the Chairperson, who serves as the chief elected officer and presides over all major meetings. They are supported by the Chair-Elect, who prepares for future leadership, and the Treasurer, who is responsible for the safeguarding of all funds and monthly financial reporting. The Secretary maintains official records to ensure compliance with governing documents, while Vice Chairs act as vital liaisons for specific divisions like marketing, events, and membership to ensure cohesive and effective action.
