Small Business Membership Alliance

Offers Valuable Benefits to Members with

10 or less Employees


Those who do not wish to participate will need to opt out

Dear Valued Chamber Member,


The Tompkins Chamber is pleased to announce our partnership with The Business Council of New York State, Inc. – the Small Business Membership Alliance (SBMA). Through this partnership, you may receive complimentary membership to The Business Council of New York State for as long as your business has ten or fewer employees. This benefit comes at no additional cost to you; it is free while you are a dues-paying member of the Tompkins Chamber.

 

Your business will receive several valuable benefits, including:

  • Access to SBMA "members-only" content on the Business Council website.
  • Updates and analysis on issues affecting small businesses in New York State.
  • Participation in The Business Council of New York State’s e-advocacy program to get your voice heard at the State Capitol.
  • Invitation to The Business Council of New York state’s sponsored conferences and events at member pricing.
  • Free access to the HR/Labor webinar series.
  • Subscription to all Member Updates.
  • Subscription to The Connect newsletter.
  • Discounts on products and services through BCNYS affinity partnerships.
  • Access to The Business Council of New York State, Inc. MEP 401(K) program designed for small businesses.
  • Access to The Business Council of New York State’s Insurance Fund low-cost life, disability, and dental insurance programs designed for small businesses.

 

We are excited to extend these additional benefits and information as part of your membership investment with the Tompkins Chamber. While we know you receive enough emails, we also think that this list of opportunities above is highly valuable for small businesses in our network - and suggest that you give the new program benefits a try before you opt-out.
