Working with the Chamber

Sector Forum Steering Group Committee Opportunities

Sussex Chamber has a key influencing role for the wider business community.

To ensure we remain representative of the Sussex business community as a whole, the Chamber holds several sector specific forums within its events programme. We currently have very successful forums in: Construction, Global Trade, Manufacturing & Engineering as well as Digital Technology.

The aims of the forums are:

Inform
The forums provide:
➢ Opportunities for networking and information sharing
➢ Up to date sector news
➢ Sector initiatives and sources of business support.

Influence
The forums act as a positive voice for businesses on a regional basis by:
➢ Continuously promoting the region's capabilities to the wider world
➢ Lobby and represent business to both local and national government.

Innovation
We wish to ensure that the regional sector specific community has access to opportunities to innovate within their organisations in order to support growth.

The committees are limited to a maximum of 8 members. Members of the committees will be champions for their own sector and will be responsible for supporting the CEO and Executive Team with the development and strategic ideas for the forums.
