Board of Directors
The Board of Directors are volunteers elected by Chamber members (or "investors") to direct the affairs of the Chamber, including making policy.  The Board of Directors is responsible for leading Chamber initiatives throughout the year and establishing an annual Plan of Work at the yearly planning session.  The Board of Directors also oversees the operations of the Chamber President, who reports directly to the Chairman of the Board.

Divisional Teams

There are many opportunities for involvement in the Chamber, and new ideas and fresh energy are always welcome.  The heart of the Chamber is its members, or “investors,” who work in small groups, committees, or task forces to achieve the Chamber’s objectives, called its “Program of Work.”  Each one of five major Divisions is charged with the responsibility of carrying out a well-balanced program in its specialized area of interest.  These Divisions are Business Development, Community Issues, Economic Development, Membership Development and Special Events.  Each division is led by a Division Team Leader - usually someone who is currently serving on the Chamber Board of Directors as follows:
  • Business Division - Roy Waldrep, Chocolate Bayou Community Federal Credit Union
  • Community Issues Division - Val Walleck, Valline Communications, Inc.
  • Economic Development Division - Brantley Still, First State Bank, Alvin
  • Membership Division - Lorilyn Wynn, Regions Bank
  • Special Events Division - Gabe Adame, Wells Fargo Bank

Chamber Staff

The Chamber staff, including the President, is responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of the Chamber.  The staff members are often the first contact a visitor or investor has with the Chamber and, sometimes, serve as the first point-of-contact for individuals interested in the community itself.
