Ambassadors also help new members become acquainted with the organization, its members, its programs, and its activities.

Business Councils - Chamber members meet regularly in their own communities. The business councils provide an excellent opportunity for members to meet with their local officials and to present a strong business voice on local issues.

There are business councils in Abington, Braintree, Hanover/Norwell, Hingham, Holbrook, Milton, Randolph, Rockland, Quincy and Weymouth.

Inclusion Initiative - The Diversity Committee helps the South Shore Chamber of Commerce reach its goal of increasing the diversity of the organization's membership and leadership. It develops programs to develop better ties between the South Shore's newer populations and its business community.

Government Affairs Committee - The South Shore Chamber of Commerce has long been recognized as a leading advocate for business in Massachusetts. The committee helps define and direct the Chamber's lobbying and advocacy strategy.

Human Resource Group - Human resource professionals from member firms meet regularly to network and to share information about training, benefits programs, legal matters and other human resource issues. The Human Resource Group sponsors a job fair each spring for member firms. All chamber members with an interest in HR issues are welcome.
