Chamber Now Offers Health Care Options!

Providing quality healthcare for employees can be a  challenge.

Our members tell us that healthcare is a top concern for
their businesses. That's why the Delaware County Chamber has partnered with
the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA) to allow our members
access to a comprehensive and cost-effective alternative to traditional
insurance plans. The SALA Healthcare Program offers two preventative care plans
with a medical cost sharing program covering unexpected or catastrophic events.
Participants can expect to save as up to 60% when compared to traditional group
health insurance. Prescription drug and telemedicine programs are also
included. The SALA Healthcare Program helps businesses, who are unable to
provide group health insurance, offer their employees access to affordable,
high quality healthcare.


Join us for an informative webinar on October 30 at 11:00 am to learn about this innovative new member benefit. You may attend the event at the Chamber office or online by clicking   HERE.

The Delaware County Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations of Chamber business members who are heroes in their communities and have contributed in meaningful ways to improve the visual aesthetics, fiscal health, economic strength, quality of life, or other aspect of our region.

Chamber Partners with County Departments to Honor Veterans

The Commerce is working with the Delaware County Veteran Services Agency, County Clerk, and business owners to thank our veterans for their service by offering discounts at participating local businesses.
The Honoring Our Heroes Veteran Discount P
rogram will launch in November.

According to Chamber President Ray Pucci, veterans' commitment to upholding and defending the principles upon which our nation is founded deserves the highest degree of respect and gratitude. This is a way for the community to honor and show recognition for our active service members and veterans.

Business owners who wish to partner with the Chamber to honor and show their appreciation to veterans by participating in the program, must complete  this form or call the Chamber at 607.746.2281.
