Chamber of Commerce Membership Benefits: Making the Most

You can maximize your membership by being as involved as your time and commitment allow you to be. Belonging to the Chamber of Commerce adds a level of legitimacy and credibility to your business, and being part of our programs will help enhance your success. Chamber membership plays a large role in a customer’s decision to do business with a company. In multiple case, customers are more likely to buy from a business if it belongs to the Chamber of Commerce.

Along with your membership, your business will receive free listings in The Partnership monthly newsletter, post updates in our weekly Friday Facts, invite ambassadors to your ribbon cutting or ground breaking events, and get your name great exposure by sponsoring community events.

Networking opportunities, like Business After Hours, being a part of various committees, and the Annual Golf Classic are all fun parts of belonging to the Chamber of Commerce and great ways to build connections. See below for more professional growth and appreciation opportunities that come with your Chamber membership:

• Greater Burlington Leadership - an intensive professional development series designed to strengthen leadership skills by empowering and educating people who live, work or have interest in Greater Burlington.
• Annual Dinner and Fundraiser - the premier event of the year and includes a fun filled night with dinner, award presentations, a raffle and silent auction.
• Small Business Appreciation Breakfast - Each year in May, small businesses are recognized at the breakfast. Our Chamber of Commerce is proud to be composed of so many small business employers with fewer than 100 employees making up over 90% of our memberships!
• Manufacturers Appreciation Luncheon - held each October, focuses on those companies that help stimulate our economy, and celebrates the successes they have throughout the year.
