The Chamber's Proactive Approach
Having the best educational system in the nation is the Chamber's goal. Excellent K-12 schools, colleges, and universities are critical to economic development and to building a high-tech economy.
The Chamber strongly supports K-12 public schools through a myriad of programs designed to build social capital through individual business people's involvement in the schools.
Through the Chamber's K-12 volunteer programs, thousands of business leaders volunteer in our local schools, and hundreds of businesses partner with individual schools to make a difference in our community.
Since education is a continuous process in today's high-tech economy, all educational institutions in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County are linked to create life-long learning opportunities for all our citizens.
