Membership Agreement
The US Chamber of Commerce is the largest Business organization in the world. It represents more than 3 million businesses across a broad range of sectors and sizes. They have been in existence for over 100 years, representing the needs and demands of their members and business in general.
In its simplest form, it is a network of people who are in business who have a joint collective goal to further improve or enhance the business economy in the region. If you want to have your say in things that will often affect your business and potentially some of your customers too, then getting involved in your local chamber is a great way to do this, while meeting like-minded individuals and boosting the exposure of your business all at the same time. |
Average Costs The Cost is indicative of your business size and the number of staff you have in your business. Compare this to any small business advertising costs and even at the lower levels, the potential return on investment is huge, both with reach and results.
Being active in Chamber Committees As with everything in life, you get what you put in. You can truly reap the rewards of belonging to your local chamber by becoming active in committees or even by applying to become a member of the board. By choosing a committee of interest, you will often get to know of any changes or developments first hand, before many others. When you are an active member, your exposure, credibility and development will all be boosted. All you need to do is decide which committees are meaningful to you, and join.
