The Network is now accepting applications to fill available seats on the Leadership Council as well as the Vice Chair position. Leadership Council members provide visioning and feedback for The Network and serve for a term of three years. Members meet frequently with Chamber staff and Chamber board members to discuss programming, current events and more.

Serving on the Leadership Council is a great way for members to fill a leadership role within The Network, connect with other young professionals and become more familiar with the Chamber as a whole. Members are expected to attend at least 60% of all regular Network events as well as 75% of all Leadership Council meetings (once a month) and events. In addition, all members of the Leadership Council will be expected to attend a half-day retreat on January 8th, 2026. 

If you'd like to be considered as a candidate for the Leadership Council or the Vice Chair position, please fill out and submit the application below. All applications must be submitted by 04:59 p.m. on Monday, October 20, 2025. All Network members are welcome to apply, even if you have done so in previous years!

To be considered for membership on the Leadership Council, you must have been a Network member for at least six months and your membership dues must be in good standing. Vice Chair applications are only open to current members of the Leadership Council that are employed by Chamber member organizations.
