What are our committees?
Membership and Marketing Committee
The role of the Wheat Ridge Business Association’s Membership Committee is to recruit, retain and grow the association by actively engaging with current and prospective members. Engagement happens on a variety of levels including emails, phone calls, office/business visits, meetings, business after hours and more. The committee welcomes new members who are interested in developing authentic relationships and promoting the mission of the Wheat Ridge Business Association in the community.
Contact the Membership and Marketing Committee Co-Chairs / Member Concierge – Angelo Gentile, Country Financial, Mike Fisher, Phoenix Technology Group, and Shawn Dunning
Community Outreach Committee
The Community Outreach Committee is dedicated to building community, creating opportunities, and championing our partners.
What We Do
- Feeding the Future at Stevens Elementary: In partnership with Community Table’s Feeding the Future program, we help ensure food-insecure students have meals and snacks for the weekend. Our volunteers serve at Stevens Elementary on the 1st and 5th Thursdays of each month during the school year, packing and distributing food sacks.
- Career Explorer Program: With Wheat Ridge High School, we offer job shadowing, internships, mentorships, and apprenticeship pathways so students can explore careers before graduation.
- Community Amplification: We amplify the voices of our nonprofit members—promoting their organizations, events, and fundraising efforts to broaden their reach and impact.
Join us in supporting our schools, nonprofits, and neighbors. Together, we can strengthen and improve our community.
