Chamber Unveils New
Membership Investment Levels
The Chamber unveiled new “value-based” Investment Levels for membership. Based on your needs, these levels of investment allow you to select a level that best fits you.
We offer four levels of investment to choose from as well as three partnership levels that include membership, sponsorship and advertising at fixed pricing.
More info
As we begin to roll-out this new investment model you will receive information with your annual renewal notice outlining and explaining the different levels. We hope you find this to be an easier way to choose your level of involvement and that you will decide to “move up” in your level of engagement with the Chamber.
Sara Keener, VP of Member Services or Karen Brown, President, will be reaching out to each of you in a letter or personal visit to help you better understand the new schedule. Or if you prefer a meeting, please contact us at 441-8144.
