Do you wish that you could maximize your membership by having a visible presence at Chamber networking events, educational luncheons, or committees…but just don’t have the time? We have a solution for you – engage your employees in your membership!

If you hire someone to work for your business, wouldn’t you trust them to represent you inside and outside of your business? Having representation at the Chamber leads to referrals, cross-marketing, and countless opportunities to promote your brand. Think what the impact could be if you had a representative at every Chamber function! Hundreds of potential new clients!

Participation in the Chamber also is valuable for that employee as they are able to learn crucial networking skills, improve their public speaking, and become invested in the mission and purpose of your business. This involvement may lead an employee to seek a higher leadership role in the company or become your best salesperson.

Remember that your business is being referred everyday by each and everyone of your employees – so put them to work for you by encouraging them to attend Chamber networking events, educational seminars, and building a contact list.
