Executive Committee

The Executive is made up of members who are willing to give up some of their time to help with the Chamber. It is headed up by the President who is voted in by the members and usually holds the position for 2 years. Assisting the President is a Vice-president (or 2) who often gravitate up to the position of president.

Other members are the chairs of the subcommittees together with the Treasurer.

 As a team we work together to ensure that the Chamber is run professionally and for the benefit of all members. The Executive also has the links with Woking Borough Council leaders so we can meet with them and discuss business issues affecting our members.

Recently the executive has taken on the redesign of the website and are making it more of a source of information and help for members so they can grow their businesses.
