Chamber Committees
Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Gilbert Chamber! When you serve on a committee, you can expect to build great connections and lasting friendships. Our committees help to support the growth and sustainability of the local business community.
Gilbert Young Professionals
Gilbert Young Professionals (GYP) is a dynamic network of emerging leaders and rising professionals dedicated to advancing their careers, expanding their influence, and forming meaningful connections. Designed for individuals in the early to mid-stages of their professional journey (typically between the ages of 21 and 39), GYP provides opportunities to network with peers, engage with community and business leaders, and develop critical skills through educational workshops, social events, and community volunteering. All are welcome who feel aligned with this group's goals.

Public Policy Committee
The Public Policy Committee is a critical component of the Chamber of Commerce, serving to research, evaluate, and recommend positions on legislation, taxes, and other regulatory issues impacting the local business community. Additionally, the committee acts as an Independent Regulatory Advocate, serving as a mediator to help members navigate complex regulatory issues. The committee also evaluates and recommends candidates for Chamber endorsement, providing further support to pro-business candidates. The Committee hosts and attends Good Government events, giving local businesses exclusive access to elected officials and government leaders, ensuring their voices are heard and their concerns addressed.
