Membership Benefits
Website Directory:

Our directory includes a short description of your business and a profile image which you can update as often as you like. Our website caters to you with exclusive pages for members only accessible by log in.
Referrals:
Referrals are made by the Chamber Staff when someone visits the office or inquires by phone, email, fax or mail about your specific type of business. As standard policy, we only refer to our members first. So in a very real sense, the Chamber staff works for you...every business day.
