Chamber Stuff You Should Know

Yesterday morning we held a Member Orientation meeting to help members understand how best to utilize their membership. I thought it might be helpful to share some of the items we covered for everyone's benefit.
Did you know that?

• Our Annual Awards nomination period has just opened. This is your opportunity to let us know who you think deserves recognition for their service to the community at our Annual Meeting in January. Award categories include; Small and Large Business of the Year, Business Person of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. You can download the nomination form here.

• The Chamber's signature event, "Taste of the Region" will be returning in the spring of 2024! Guests will have the opportunity to sample offerings from the area's best restaurants, caterers, breweries, wineries and distilleries all in one place. Stay tuned for more information soon. Also, if you would like to assist with the planning, please email Karen at [email protected].

• Small businesses can now setup 401(k) plans for their employees through the Chamber. New regulations allow you to access this great benefit for a fraction of what it once cost and without the burdensome paperwork of previous plans. You can learn more here.

• You can post your job openings on the Chamber website for free. The job board is powered by Zip Recruiter and can help you expand the reach of your recruitment efforts. Check it out here.

• You can download a virtual member decal which can be used on your website or other marketing materials to let the world know that you are a member of the Chamber. It's the same as your window membership sticker (only virtual) and sets your business apart as one that is community minded. Download it here.

Now you know!
