Educational Partnerships

Partners in Education - Having strong school systems is important to every community. Supporting the local school systems is a great way to be involved in the chamber and the community.  With our Partners in Education (PIE) program, every business has the opportunity to be a partner in education. It is vital for the business community to support the school systems.  The PIE program is a great way to support the schools and show that your organization cares about the future of the community.
