When you invest in a membership in the chamber, it’s much like any other investment you make. You can sit back and watch it grow in the form of a better community which should mean better business and bigger profits for you and your company. Or you can actively manage your investment by taking advantage of the many features included with payment of your dues. Here is a list of what available to you and your employees: Business and industry advocacy Networking Chamber events offer members the opportunity to meet fellow business professionals, cultivate new clients and keep informed on the latest business happenings and activities. The Chamber coordinates a monthly Business-After-Business, business luncheons, specialty seminars and numerous other events. Mailing Lists and Labels Members, upon request, receive one set of mailing labels free of charge. Additional labels are available for a small fee. These membership mailing lists help you in your marketing, direct mail and advertising programs. Health insurance coverage Through a special arrangement with Anthem Blue Cross-Blue Shield, chamber members with as few as two employees can take advantage of premier health insurance plans at more affordable rates than many other businesses. Coming soon will be coverage for individuals. To receive the discounts, though, you must be a member in good standing of the chamber. Workers Compensation plan Again, by being a member of the chamber, your company might be eligible for significant reductions (up to 90 percent) in your state Workers Compensation premiums. We’ll put you in touch with the folks who can let you know if your cost of membership might be more than paid for through a reduction in the premiums.
