Benefits |
|
The Chamber of
Commerce gives businesses access to powerful local resources.
It's what we do... from offering networking events, promotional
opportunities and publicity for your business and to supporting
businesses through legislative advocacy.
We believe all businesses can benefit from membership; here are
just a few of the member benefits we offer: |
|
|
Developing
Local Business Contacts: The Chamber of Commerce can put you
in touch with contacts that could become new clients and
customers. |
|
Mixers:
Our monthly mixers are a perfect venue for providing
"business-to-business" networking opportunities to
establish new relationships and business contacts. Each month a
Chamber member hosts an open house at their business, inviting
attendees to a first-hand view of their facilities and products
or services. |
|
Business
Trade-Shows: Each year a local hotel or restaurant banquet
facility is the location for our member's business tradeshows.
These events are sponsored and promoted by the Chamber of
Commerce and attended by our members and local community. The
participating exhibitors promote their products and services in
a tabletop, trade-show environment. |
|
|
Luncheons
and Annual Events: Luncheon and events held throughout the
year, such as the monthly luncheons, Staff Appreciation Day,
Community Service Programs, and the Chamber's Annual
Installation Dinner events bring members together for both
business and pleasure. These events are a great way to meet,
greet and work with the business owners in our community. |
