Membership of the Greater Dowagiac Chamber of
Commerce is comprised of businesses, organizations and individuals.
The Chamber is run by its members, which elect a Board of Directors
that determines policies and sets goals.
A president presides over Board meetings. The day-to-day operations
are handled by an administrator, who also serves as the treasurer
of the organization and as the program director of the Dowagiac
Downtown Development Authority.
Our volunteers, who are the backbone of our non-profit organization,
are priceless to the Chamber of Commerce. They are the business
owners and employees, community leaders and residents of our city,
who have chosen to share their valued time and talents with us.
