Our advisory Council is a big part of the direction the group is headed. Final decisions such as which events to move forward with, where funds are allocated or who to feature in our Speaker Series are approved by the Advisory Council. The Council is run by young professionals who have dedicated their time and expertise to make this group what it is today. Often our Council Members serve on our committees and are a voice for our group in Citrus Height Chamber events. So, it’s time to meet the Advisory Council!
