Chamber Partner Announcement
Dear Chamber Member,
 
We understand that our members are seeing an increase in costs on just about everything – food, supplies, gas at the pump, utility bills, etc. Even just a slight rise in any of these prices can be incredibly challenging for a business to absorb these additional costs. As your local Chamber of Commerce, we offer resources to help you mitigate some of these costs. One increase that we are all feeling right now is energy.
 
To that end, I would like to introduce you to Kathy Elseser from the Chamber Energy Program at Community Energy Advisors. Many members have already seen large price increases and others may see them once their current contract is up for renewal. Kathy and her team can review your electric and natural gas bills and provide various pricing options for you to help you minimize these rising costs for your business.
 
Unfortunately, we have heard that many members are receiving more robocalls than ever and may be enrolling in unfavorable contract terms and rates. Our trusted partner, the Chamber Energy Program, serves over 140 Chambers of Commerce in Ohio. I encourage you to reach out to them as a resource. Participate in a free bill review and gain peace of mind around your energy budget.

Contact Kathy at kathy@ceateam.com or (330) 208-2082. To request a free bill review, click HERE to download the form. Complete the form and email it along with a copy of your most recent electric and natural gas bills to billreview@ceateam.com.
