Serve on the Chamber Board
Last Week to Get Involved
The By-Laws of the Caswell County Chamber of Commerce require the organization to have a nominating committee each year that will gather a slate of candidates to replace the board members (3) that are rolling off of the board at the end of each year.
The nominating committee has been selected and at this time, and is taking nominations. You may volunteer/nominate yourself or nominate another member for possible candidates for the board if you are interested in being a part of shaping our local business community.
From the names interested, the committee will then present a slate of three candidates to the Chamber Board of Directors for a vote to replace the board members that are rolling off the board at the end of this year.
This is your Chamber and we want to support you in the ways that best service you in the business community.
Please submit names here by 5:00 on Tuesday, November 17, 2020.

Sista's Touch Salon
This new business in the community is called Sista’s Touch Salon. Growing up with brothers, I’ve often wondered what it would be like to have a sister. Although there are friendships that have provided a glimpse of what it is like to have a sister, to see two real life sisters making a go of it, is a really special thing. Meet Pennie Allen and Stephanie Morrow. These two sisters grew up here in Caswell County. They are experienced hairdressers and chose Caswell County to be the home of their new business located in the formerly Today’s Hair salon by the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. ‘We chose Caswell County because it is our home and we feel it is important to give back to our community’, says co-owner Pennie Allen.
