Benefits of Chamber Membership

Business Referrals

The Chamber receives a large volume of calls each day from individuals and companies seeking goods and services. We refer Chamber members first.   The Chamber wants to get the word out about your business!

Networking Opportunities

Networking opportunities are available by attending Business After Hours, Annual Meeting, Special Events and Educational Seminars.  These are just a few events which are great places to make those all-important business contacts.

Credibility

Chamber Membership tells your customer that you are a reputable company participating in the local business community.  When consumers know that a small business is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, they are 44% more likely to think favorably of it and 63% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.

Business Directory

Your membership comes with a free listing in the business directory which is distributed to members.  The guide contains alphabetized business listings with phone numbers. The business directory is inserted in our local newspaper and is also distributed to members and new residents.

Chamber Newsletter

All members receive a monthly newsletter, The Communicator, by email, which provides information on business trends, government issues and chamber activities.  Members may market a special event or promotion by sending us a PDF, which will be included in an email blast with what’s happening and a Facebook post.  A special section of the newsletter welcomes new members with an explanation of their business.
