The Bryan/College Station chamber of commerce continues to recruit volunteers for the organization’s annual visit of nearly 1,000 businesses.
This year’s Chamber Day is March 30.
The volunteers, who will be paired with a police officer or firefighter, will collect information about the role the economy plays in affecting businesses.
The chamber has online links (shown below) to volunteer and for businessowners to contact the chamber to share information.

News release from the Bryan/College Station chamber of commerce:
Chamber Day 2023, sponsored by Brazos County, is March 30th and will kick-off at the Brazos Center at 8 a.m. The lunch session will start at the Brazos Center at 12 p.m. Below are some important Chamber Day facts:
During Chamber Day visits, teams will conduct a short survey about each business’ view on our local economy. Make sure at least one person in your group brings a smart phone or tablet to record the survey answers. On Chamber Day, the survey will be accessible on the Chamber website homepage. For easy access on Chamber Day, we suggest you bookmark the link to your device’s home screen.
If you sign up as a team, and haven’t participated in Chamber Day before, you will have a police officer or fire fighter assigned to your team. We will send you their name and email so that you can connect with them beforehand.
If you sign up as an individual, we will email you and your teammates with each other’s contact information so that you can connect beforehand. If you sign up as an all-day individual volunteer, then you may receive 2 team assignments: your morning team and your afternoon team. Most will have a police officer or fire fighter assigned to your team.
For the morning session, we will meet at The Brazos Center at 3232 Briarcrest Drive in Bryan at 8:00 a.m. Morning volunteers will end their day with lunch at 12 p.m. at The Brazos Center. Lunch is sponsored by Truist Bank and Jersey Mike’s.

During Chamber Day, we encourage your team to post pictures and stories on social media using the hashtag #BCSChamberDay.
