A wise
Investment
Today, we are 650 members strong with over 2,000 volunteers that help facilitate and participate in the chamber’s activities and events. If you were to put a dollar figure on the publicity, referrals, business leads, political contacts, marketing services, economic development projects, research information, etc., it certainly makes your membership decision worth the investment. We believe that we can represent your business and the region through our efforts to support business members in their effort to grow, assisting entrepreneurs and new businesses for continued high quality economic growth, representing the members’ interests in government and legislative issues, promoting the area’s numerous assets through marketing and public relations efforts, and ensuring the overall highest standards for an improved quality of life.
Each of our businesses bring a pool of resources to the chamber, from which ideas, energy, and assets can be drawn. Input and support from your business is vital to the success and growth of the community and region. We also know that your dollars can go to support numerous organizations, projects, and activities, but hope that you will join us, and the businesses we represent, to accomplish collectively what no one of our businesses can accomplish individually.
