The Sealy Chamber of Commerce is accepting nominations for the Board of Directors. The nominee must be a Chamber member in good standing and willing to serve an average of ten to fifteen hours per month. As stated by Christina Green, a writer with frankjkenny.com, “A chamber board member must devote a large amount of time to meetings, planning, and the governing role. It’s a very in-depth commitment. You need someone who understands the amount of time required and has the time to put in.” With that said, the Sealy Chamber has a commitment pledge which is the guide for Board members to follow. Here is the pledge:
