Sponsorship Opportunities - "An Investment In Yourself"
 
Did You Know?
The Chamber has NOT raised membership dues for four of the last five years. 
Chamber dues make up only 34% of our budget. 
The Chamber must raise nearly $150,000 per year (of a quarter-million dollar budget) from event sponsorships, publications, advertising etc.
