Chamber Advantage

As a membership organization, the Chamber works for you. Supporting member businesses takes many forms: networking opportunities that help you connect, gain clients, and forge partnerships; Affinity Groups that bring members together around shared industries and interests; and educational seminars that keep you informed on issues relevant to your growth and success. We also love seeing members make full use of their marketing benefits, from e-blasts and banner ads to event-based promotion and website referrals.

One of our most visible member benefits is newsletter sponsorship, included with Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Benefactor memberships. Sponsors write this very introduction and share their logo, photos, and links with 3,000+ recipients committed to working, shopping, and living local. It is a $250 value, included with your membership.
