Business & Education Committee
The Business & Education committee works to make sure we have a strong partnership in business and education. Members consist of Chamber member business and representatives from Lakeville Area Schools. The group oversees the Chamber’s Bowling for Education Tournament, Future 101, teacher welcome bags/events, teacher breakfasts and participates in ISD194’s Opportunities Day, DECA judging, and mock job interviews, to name a few.
The committee meets five times a year (4th Friday: January, April, October – 4th Wednesday: June, August) at 7:30am via zoom.
