Happy Monday, Chamber Friends!

Whether you’re looking to build new relationships, promote your services, stay informed on local issues, or get involved in the community, the Chamber offers tools and opportunities to help you make the most of your membership and turn connection into impact. Let’s make it a great week!

NEWS + BUSINESS RESOURCES

Reminder for Members:



As a reminder, the South Baldwin Chamber will soon complete the transition from ChamberMaster to GrowthZone, our new member management platform. As part of this change, some items will not transfer automatically, including calendar events, job postings, member-to-member and community deals, and certain directory content such as logos, photos, and video links.


Please note that any information scheduled for dates after February 2026 will not carry over. If you have important listings or updates, we encourage you to plan to repost them once the new system is live.


Read more details about the transition here.


Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we work to improve our member experience.
