With Chamber membership, you are continually accessible in our online business directory that is viewed by members, visitors to our area, and the surrounding communities as they search for goods and services. The Chamber, through its Membership Directory and telephone network, only refers our members to prospective customers.

The Chamber also assists new or existing businesses with grand openings and ribbon cutting ceremonies. We are available to help you and your business celebrate key milestones and achievements such as changing ownership or management, moving to a new location, remodeling or expanding your present location, or celebrating a milestone anniversary. Members can also include their events on the Chamber’s community calendar and submit member news to be published on the Chamber’s social media.
