Small Business Council

Nine out of 10 Chamber members run small to mid-size enterprises. So, serving small business members isn't a "program" here, it's what we do every day. Before we take a position on a controversial policy issue or introduce a new benefit program, we consult with the business leaders of the Small Business Council.

The Small Business Council makes sure that small businesses have a big voice at the Chamber.

And, you recruit new members – and more members mean a stronger voice for the business community.

No diplomatic immunity or special parking, but being an Ambassador has its own rewards. To find out, contact Cathy Amato, 614-225-6901, or cathy_amato@columbus.org.
