A healthy community is an imperative bedrock for any business to thrive. Servicing our community through our membership is the Chamber’s number one priority. The Board of Directors, committee members, volunteers, and Chamber staff are passionate about strengthening the many facets of our community as seen through our member benefits. Some of those tangible benefits include:
Advertising your Business: For less than what most media outlets charge for a single advertisement, you get year-long exposure through multiple avenues with the Chamber.
Networking: Despite our ability to access information about a business from almost anywhere; most still prefer to do business with a company or individual they know and trust. The Chamber offers a multitude of networking opportunities for business people to build relationships and do business with each other.
Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteers are an integral part of the Chamber and the committees on which they serve help make these offerings possible. In addition to being critical to the Chamber itself, working on committees and taking advantage of volunteer opportunities allows the members to forge relationships with each other and those at the events. More chances to meet and greet other business people as you plan, organize and implement the various events and programs can only result in stronger relationships.
Cultivate Awareness: The Chamber is an avenue to keep abreast of the local, state and national happenings that effect our region including political environment, education, resources, and events and activities in the community as a whole.
Educational Opportunities: The Chamber hosts frequent seminars, lunch and learns and training sessions to help members operate sound and growing businesses. All the Special Advocacy Committees at the Chamber work to provide valuable advocacy and information for other business owners to grow and improve their business.
Intangible Benefits of Chamber Membership: A viable business cannot exist without a viable community. Your Chamber membership is helping to ensure that our viable community remains healthy and the quality of life in Bartow County remains exceptional. Even businesses unable to participate in many of the programs and opportunities offered by the Chamber play an integral role in the success of our community.
In summary, your membership dollars are hard at work:
- Bringing more jobs through economic development efforts, bringing more potential clients and customers to your business.
- Through the advocacy efforts of the Chamber, ensuring we maintain a positive business climate.
- Bringing all the partners in our community together for its betterment as a whole.
