Committees and Events

At the AFCC we work to help your business succeed. But as a member-driven organization, we do so only with the help of hundreds of volunteers. We invite you to participate in your Chamber by joining one of our many member committees. Get involved and volunteer for a committee! You’ll make the most of your membership by helping us develop the programs and services that will benefit your business! Please contact the Chamber at 480-753-7676 for more information..

Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies

The AFCC helps new businesses celebrate the grand opening of their business with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Chamber Ambassadors welcome the new members with a short speech followed by a ceremonial ribbon cutting featuring the Chamber’s four -foot long golden scissors. A photo of the event and your business information goes into The Forum, the Chamber’s newsletter to introduce the membership to you and your business.
