Chesapeake Isle runs on volunteers. Each committee looks after one part of community life, and every chair is a neighbor. Your help is always welcome on any of them.
The Board sets up standing committees for ongoing work and select committees for specific jobs. Volunteering keeps costs down for everyone.
