Membership brings credibility to your business.

You can increase positive perception among consumers and business owners when you are identified as a member of a chamber of commerce.

Gain a voice in government.

The local chamber takes on the tough issues and opposes new regulations, taxes, fees, assessments and costs directed at small businesses. It also helps protect the principles of free enterprise and aids businesses in being treated fairly.

Make business contacts.

The chamber’s most fundamental mission is to generate more business activity for the community. The chamber initiates more business-to-business commerce and more opportunities for networking and connecting local professionals than is available through most other local organizations.

Promotion and publicity. With a chamber membership, you can reach potential clients through member-exclusive advertising and opportunities for business-to-business advertising and publicity.

Create networking opportunities.

Chambers have numerous committees and serving on one of them provides numerous networking opportunities as well as professional leadership development. You can build your business while promoting developments of keen interest to local businesses and the community at large.

Receive chamber newsletters.

Newsletters provide new member information, interesting information about operating a local business, articles about the local community, a community calendar and details about up-and-coming chamber events, among other things.

Acquire customer referrals.

Your local chamber receives calls from individuals and businesses looking for potential vendors, and chamber members typically recommend chamber members.

Chamber events and programs. Chamber events and programs provide members with great opportunities to get to know new people and expand their prospect base. Chamber events are innovative and fun ways to help members meet potential customers, clients and vendors— and generate new business leads.

Access to members-only discounts and services.

These differ from chamber to chamber.
