The Chugiak-Eagle River Chamber of Commerce is regulated by a 25-member Board of Directors, each representing varied and diverse perspectives. This diversity allows for conversations among small and large business members and allows for considering public and private interests.  Ultimately, the economic health and welfare of the area is the underlying driver that defines how the Board of Directors makes decisions. The Board of Directors and Chamber staff sit on a number of other community committees and boards allowing for regular information passing, advocating and collaboration. 

The Board of Directors utilizes smaller committees to address and oversee projects, events, or other issues. Currently, committees include an Executive-Strategic Planning Committee, Legislative Committee, Ambassador Program Committee, Placemaking Committee, Bear Paw Festival Committee, and other Committees/Task Forces as needed.
