Purpose and Objective
Many businesses are interested in a higher level of involvement and investment in the Chamber's program of work. The Partners Program provides businesses the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to their community and the quality of life their employees will enjoy. The companies included are true business and community leaders who have chosen to go above and beyond in their volunteer leadership and financial involvement. Through their significant commitment, these members help The Chamber realize its vision to foster economic growth and to advance the commercial, industrial and civic well-being of the region.
The purpose of The Chamber Partners Program is to provide the major portion of sustaining funds to carry out the Signature Events and Initiatives for the upcoming year, which makes a difference in the well-being of our business community. The Partners Program has been designed to provide broader value for our members offering great exposure, expanded involvement and value for your investment - and the opportunity for your business to better budget and plan for the year with one annual request and one annual payment.
2012 promises to be a year of progress, change and opportunity partnering and working together we do chart a course for a better tomorrow.
