What does the Military Affairs Committee do?
We want to help enhance our community and make it the best place for military families to live, work, shop, and enjoy. From our Operation Left Turn initiatives that encourage soldiers to turn left out of the gate, to special FREE appreciation events, we work diligently to make Christian County the best neighbor to Fort Campbell and the best home to many families.
We never take for granted the hard work, dedication and sacrifice that our military families make for our country, and we believe we must always let them know that we, as a community, care a great deal about them.
Get involved with the Military Affairs Committee.
The Military Affairs Committee meetings are open to all Chamber Members and held the first Wednesday of the month, 11:45 a.m. at the Commerce Center unless otherwise noted.
