While the Chamber represents businesses of all sizes, businesses with less than fifty full time employee equivalents comprise more than 75% of our membership. Whether you are a solo entrepreneur, an emerging business or an established company, the Chamber offers programming, benefits and resources designed to help your business grow.
Member benefits
Although helpful for all, many of our member benefits were created with small businesses in mind. For example, the Office Depot discount program gives smaller businesses the buying power of a large business by combining our purchasing power for great rates on pens, pencils, paper and more. You can also save money and support your fellow Chamber members with the Chamber’s Member-to-Member Discount Program.
Below is a list of Chamber member benefits that many of our smaller members find helpful:
Small Business University: Seminars and Webinars
Educational seminars created with your business in mind, Small Business University is a series of in-person events and webinars that give you tools to be successful in business. Past topics have included alternative funding sources, social media, sales training, and even stress reduction!
Thank you to UPS, series sponsor for Small Business University.
Free business coaching
Even professional athletes have coaches.
As business owners, you make decisions on a daily basis that affect your business and the lives of you and your employees. Even the most accomplished owner can benefit from a fresh perspective and unbiased advice. That is where business coaching comes in.
The Chamber has partnered with AdviCoach to offer free one-hour coaching sessions for our members. Coaching sessions occur between 1:00 -5:00 p.m. on the third Monday of each month.
