Note from the

Executive Director

Happy Thursday Chamber Partners,

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful day!

We are updating our website, directory, and promotional items, along with finalizing the 2023 Community Guide this week, before we go to print. If you haven’t paid your 2023 investment dues or didn’t receive an invoice, please contact us at 812-934-3101 or email us as soon as possible. We don’t want to exclude any of our valued partners.  

One area that we are trying to clean up and keep updated is the Job Board Postings. If you have any job opportunities, please post them on our website. But we also need you to review the current listings and let us know if we should take some older ones off.

We know that all of you are busy running your businesses or departments but the Chamber has many benefits even when you can’t attend a workshop, Chamber After Hours, Educational Series, etc. 

We are a catalyst for advancing economic growth and quality of life for our partners and our community. As a partner of the Batesville Area Chamber, you are investing in the future of our City and region. Our goal is to provide our members with essential resources, tools, and expertise to help your businesses thrive.

•  Community Clean-Up Days – April 21^st & 22^nd – We are encouraging everyone to clean up their storefronts and windows, pick up trash, pull weeds, etc. to keep our communities looking great! We are also looking for help cleaning up the Batesville Area too. Just let us know if you can help. (We will provide trash bags but bring your gloves and garden tools.) Many hands make light work!

Please give us a call if you have any questions or want to know more about all the benefits of being a Chamber Partner.
