Leaders Selected to Serve as Chamber Committee Chairs for 2026-27

Volunteers are critically important to the work of the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has 18 committees with a variety of volunteer positions, plus many more volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Each is filled with members who volunteer their time to serve their community.

The volunteer leaders featured here represent the individuals who help guide these groups and their work throughout the year.

Each committee has a different purpose, but all support the Chamber’s mission. Through their activities, they are helping our community thrive by promoting economic health and quality of life in the Sioux Falls area.

Thank you to these leaders who are volunteering their time to serve as chairs of Chamber committees in the coming year.
