Inner Workings of gsSCENE

People ask all the time, "How exactly is gsSCENE run?" So, let me answer the question. gsSCENE is a program of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. You do not have to be a member of the chamber to be a member of gsSCENE. The memberships are done on an individual basis, so being a member of the chamber does not make you a member of gsSCENE. Confused yet?

gsSCENE is run by a steering committee of young professionals who live and work on the Grand Strand. Every year, committee members rotate off and new committee members come on board. The steering committee is limited and those individuals are appointed by the chairman of the chamber board. This committee has the final say in all the events, functions and everything in between of gsSCENE. But most all gsSCENE ideas come from one of our subcommittees. These committees are made up of any gsSCENE members who would like to be involved. They are headed by a gsSCENE steering committee member. Now you must be confused?!

Bottom line, anyone who wants to play a role in what gsSCENE does can do so. We need all the help we can get! I am amazed at the ideas and suggestions we get every time we meet (and gsSCENE in some shape or form is always meeting!). So if you are still wondering how gsSCENE works, then let us know and participate in a committee. You would be amazed at all the people and resources it takes for gsSCENE to run!
