Fall Membership Drive

Our Fall 2022 Membership Drive Is Here!
Chamber members, we need your help. September means "Back to School" but for us it means "Back to Business"!
Now is the time to bring new businesses into the Chamber so they can enjoy the benefits just as you do. We have a robust calendar of events in September and October. We are asking you to reach out to businesspeople that you know and/or do business with and invite them to an event. If you do, you can both attend at no cost.
Anyone that joins the NRR Chamber from now until our Chamber Talks event on October 20th will receive 50% more membership time! All new members who join during this time frame will receive 18 months of membership, that's 50% more for their annual membership dues. In addition, all new members will be entered into a raffle to be drawn at our Chamber Talks event.
You can join in on the fun as well: Refer a brand new NRR Chamber member and be entered into a raffle prize drawing as well. Raffle prizes include - Legacy Place Gift Cards, Complimentary Business Portrait Session with Kenneth Berman Photography, Movie Night Themed Gift Basket from Compass Real Estate and more!

In August, Chamber member's added some fun to their networking. Clockwise from top left the first three photos are from our Noon Networking at Davio's Foxborough. Board member, Tricia White led member's in a group retirement party that got everyone thinking about what they might have done differently in their careers. The good news is, they still have time.
Bottom left photo - Chamber Young Professionals battled it out for the first ever Dundie Award for Trivia at Irish Brewing Boston. It turns out our Young Professionals were not young enough to win as they were bested by two even younger, not yet professionals, who will remain unnamed...
