SCGO - Committees


SCGO is organized into 5 individual committees that work to fulfill the SCGO mission. Each committee is tasked with involving our members in projects that educate, excite, and give back to our community. As an organization we work together to accomplish major projects. As the great American Anthropologist Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Are you interested in helping us make a difference? Learn more about each of our committees: Civic Committee , Connect Committee , PR Committee , Community Committee and the Sculpt Siouxland Committee. We also invite you to join us for our Monthly SCGO meeting on the Second Wednesday of every month at noon at the United Way of Siouxland, 701 Steuben Street.
