As a volunteer-led, staff-supported organization, volunteers are critical in our ability to execute our mission. The Anchorage Chamber has been instrumental as a connector to businesses and individuals who offer their support by stepping in to meet our volunteer needs. Especially in the wake of COVID-19 when our local staff team was reduced by half, our Anchorage Chamber membership and the connectivity it provides has never been more valuable."
