Committee members reported progress toward creating a Lower Valley Chamber of Commerce, saying a temporary board has been formed and the group will work on bylaws and state registration.

Committee members said the temporary board has been voted in and that they will schedule time to draft bylaws and register the organization with the state. A committee member said, "We already voted in a temporary board just to establish it. We have to schedule some time, and that's what's been challenging is our schedule. We're gonna start on the bylaws and Getting all registered. Everything registered with the state."

What happens next: committee members will continue building the temporary board, draft bylaws, and complete state registration. They plan outreach to other local chambers for guidance and to schedule meetings when member availability allows.
