An Committee of the
Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce

The Commerce & Education committee is an organization with a history of chamber work dating back to the mid 1960's. Its program of work has changed over the years to match the changing needs of society. In every community there are gray areas where Business, Industry and Education overlap.

Volunteers explore those areas of overlap to uncover new ways to broaden awareness and foster relationships between those three areas of community activity.

The Commerce & Education committee is comprised of 10-12 members who represent the area of concentration.
