The Greater Severna Park and Arnold Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary membership organization incorporated as a non-profit 501(c) 6. Our work is financed by the investment of the business and organizations that support our efforts to make our community the best place to live, work and raise families. Our Member volunteers contribute their time and talents serving on committees, which in turn brings visibility to them and grows their network.
Committees
There are so many ways to get involved on a larger scale with our Chamber. We have STANDING COMMITTEES that host regular events and participate throughout the year, and AD HOC COMMITTEES that assist in the planning and executing of our Signature events.
These are excellent opportunities to raise your profile in the community while really getting to know fellow Chamber members. Our volunteers are golden!
STANDING COMMITTEES
Successful Women in Business "SWIB"
This committee was founded over a decade ago to offer professional women opportunities for networking and professional development in a collegial and welcoming atmosphere. The committee holds ten meetings each year, often at member's locations to showcase the member's business. The committee also teams with other Chambers for joint women's' networking events.

Health and Wellness
The Health and Wellness Committee is a new Chamber group with Members coming from a diverse array of health and wellness businesses. This committee envisions to become a valuable health and wellness community resource. We intend to do this by offering:
Engaging networking opportunities for those working in the health and wellness industry.
Educational community events about aspects of healthcare.
Conversations about relevant healthcare policy.

Shop Local
Our Shop Local initiative keeps our local businesses in the forefront of the community. We produce events that encourage people to patronize our local businesses and recognize the enormous contributions that they make to maintain a strong local economy, provide jobs, donate thousands of dollars to support charitable efforts, and preserve our wonderful and unique quality. Our main event is the Shop Local Fun Festival held annually at Park Plaza. Over 60 businesses and organizations participate in an afternoon of festivities, food, demonstrations, music and more.
We are working to create more events throughout the year such as Ladies Night, Holiday Shopping/Tree Lighting at the Chamber, and more.
Chairs
