EPIC is a division of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, one that targets employees ages 22-40 who want to become more involved in the Chamber, meet new people and develop their leadership skills. EPIC’s mission is to engage, develop and celebrate emerging leaders through professional growth opportunities and social interactions.

This mission is accomplished through four types of events: program events, professional development luncheons, community engagement breakfasts, and social mixers. EPIC also provides opportunities to serve on committees such as Membership & Marketing, Community Involvement and Education & Events to give back and grow your skills.

How do dues work?

EPIC members are billed on an annual basis, with all billing for existing members taking place in March. New members can signup on a rolling basis throughout the year. All dues assessed after September are prorated at 50%. Because all Chamber member businesses support the activities of EPIC through their Chamber dues, employees of Chamber members receive a discount on their EPIC dues.

Can non-members still attend EPIC events?

While EPIC members will receive exclusive EPIC benefits, professional development lunches, community engagement breakfasts, and other program events will continue to be open to both members and non-members. EPIC members will still need to purchase a punch card or pay entry to EPIC events. Non-members will still be able to receive EPIC news and updates via email. To start receiving EPIC news, fill out the form below.
