Committees

Committees meet no more than once a month for about 1 hour. Special projects may occasionally require additional time. The chairs have been encouraged to set a regular meeting date that is convenient for the members of the committee. We encourage our members to be involved in the committee of their choice. Being involved allows the citizens of Cross County to see that your business cares about the community.
