An Committee of the
Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce

The Membership Development Team was created in 2003 as a new area of focus for the chamber. Its first meeting was in December of 2003.

It was created to foster positive communication with existing members. It can be thought of as "Service after the Sale." Team members mentor new chamber members during their first year of membership. They also survey existing members regarding chamber programs.

Membership Team members occasionally make sales calls and they take active roles in chamber events such as the Golf Outing and Riverfest Booth.
