Business Support Committees
Small Business Advisory Council (SBAC)
The SBAC assists members through job fairs, seminars, recognition awards and trade shows. Our members keep current with trends and issues so they can plan and coordinate meaningful seminars, workshops and training sessions.
SBAC members also play an active role in nominations for the annual Business Appreciation Awards. The awards recognize achievement in a range of categories from business longevity to community participation by employees, and are presented each fall.

Cultural Economy Committee
Many artists call St. Tammany Parish home, and their businesses play a vital role in framing our lifestyle and fueling our economy. That’s why in 2007, the Chamber formed the Cultural Economy Committee to promote and recognize artists, galleries, restaurants, tourist destinations, fashion designers and other creative businesses for their important economic and quality of life contributions to our community.
The Committee hit the ground running with Cultural Economy Awareness Week August 20 – 24, 2007. Highlights included a keynote luncheon featuring Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu along with representatives from the State Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism and the Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation. We look forward to coming up with even more new events to celebrate the arts and their role in St. Tammany.

Ambassadors Council
The Ambassadors Council is an elite group that serves for a three year term with the St. Tammany West Chamber of Commerce. Ambassadors serve as the public relations arm of the Chamber by developing a two-way communication between themselves and the membership. This is done by calling on existing members to update them on current activities, policies, and special events while asking members about their own business and how the Chamber can better help their business.
Ambassadors are motivated, enthusiastic, dependable, honest business professionals in the community. They are outgoing and provide positive support and encouragement to their fellow colleagues.
In order to serve as an Ambassador you must have been affiliated with the Chamber for more than 2 years and adhere to the Ambassador Guidelines...click here.
