Why are you a chamber member?

The number one reason for joining a chamber is to make business connections. Especially if your business is new and you want a jump start and a effiencient way to meet people who are potential customers. 

The second most common reason for joining a chamber is for community engagement. Let's face it. The entitites that provide power or process trash don't need to network for customers. However, they are great partners with chambers as it is a conduit for sharing important information and participating in the community. 

However, the most important reason to belong to a chamber is the power of collaboration. Especially in regard to government at the city and state level. Many times, the chamber is able to speak on your behalf in support of bills that are better for your business and in opposition to bills that will negetively impact business. Through collaboration, we can also influence the city to adopt or change ordinances, all for the betterment of our community. 

Something for everyone! 

And since networking is important for the majority of our members, we also offer of wide varity of opportunities to connect. 

But don't stop there! Joining a committee is also a great way to get engaged. So if you have not already, take the time to check out at least one of our committees (Economic Development, Education, and Government Affairs). You will find information on our website and in the weekly communications. Still not sure? Call us! We will gladly speak with you and offers suggestions.
