Membership That Works For You

Grow your business through real relationships.
Build the connections that turn into referrals, partnerships, and new customers. At mixers, committee meetings, and everywhere in between, you're in the room with the business and community leaders who can move your business forward.

Have a seat at the table when decisions are made. Don't just react to policy changes, help shape them. As the only Chamber in the county with formal advocacy, we fight for your interests at the local, state, and federal level, and make sure you're never blindsided by legislation that affects your bottom line.
Picture
Stay ahead of the competition. Sharpen your edge with workshops, speaker series, and hands-on training on the issues that matter most: leadership, security, employment law. Always a step ahead.

Get seen by the customers who are looking for you. Raise your profile and put your business in front of new customers and partners through Chamber promotions, sponsorships, our website, and email newsletters.

Have a hand in shaping the business community you're part of.
Whether you join a committee (Membership and Marketing, Large Events, Women in Business, or Community Affairs) or step up as a Chamber Ambassador, you'll help set the direction for what the Chamber becomes.

  • Consumers are 44% more likely to think positively about your business
  • Your business’s visibility increases by 51%
  • You gain a 57% stronger local reputation
