Member Benefits

Breakfast and After Hours Programs provide members the opportunity to network with each other to develop new business contacts.

15 members from different industries meet at the Chamber to talk about their businesses and how they can refer each other. It is a great intimate forum for making valuable new business contacts.

In May of each year the Chamber holds a business expo featuring 95 exhibitors and 18 restaurants. The event attracts about 600 attendees and is a lively community celebration.

These two highly attended events serve as the Chamber’s major fundraising events each year attracting business and community leaders.

The Chamber sells $90,000 to $100,000 worth of gift certificates each year. Members can sign up to participate in the program which drives business right to their doorstep.

Members can display information in the Chamber’s Visitors Center that attracts thousands of local residents and visitors each year.

The Chamber provides hundreds of referrals each year to callers inquiring about where to find local services or products.

Members are listed in our community directory by type of business and alphabetically. Thousands of copies of this book are distributed to members, local residents, visitors and many others.

Members have a listing on our website that can be searched by business category or by company name. The listing also includes contact information and a link to the member’s web site.

For new businesses, the Chamber will cut the ribbon on their grand opening or expansion. The Chamber can coordinate inviting public officials, alerting the media and even inviting the local business community to attend. Pictures from the ribbon cuttings will also be posted on our website and in the monthly newsletter with a description of the company.

Once a quarter the Chamber hosts a new member orientation that provides members information on how to best utilize their membership and to network with other members.

Some people see the membership decal as meaning you're one of the "good businesses in town" or a leading business in the community. People always have a sense of reassurance and confidence when they see your business belongs to the local Chamber of Commerce.

New members can receive a list of member addresses when first joining to do a promotional mailing.

There are multiple opportunities to showcase your business to other members and the community through events, sponsorships and publication advertising.
