While the way we do business has changed drastically for many of us over the past year, joining your local chamber of commerce is a long-standing tradition that’s still an extremely useful business strategy. Being a part of a chamber offers businesses a number of benefits and opportunities by keeping people up to date on important issues and trends within their community. But to get the most out of your membership, it’s important to play an active role.
Attend Chamber Events (Virtual & In-Person)
We know how time consuming it can be to run a business, but make it a priority to attend Chamber events when possible. In the era of COVID-19, many networking events have gone virtual. While the smaller one-on-one conversations are harder to accommodate on Zoom, try scheduling a virtual coffee with other members you’re interested in networking with. This is your Chamber, and your participation contributes not only to the success of these events but also the business community.
Communicate With Members
Don’t hesitate to bring your ideas, questions, and concerns to your Chamber’s board members. Not only does it make for a stronger organization, these board members regularly communicate with city officials and can help your voice be heard.
Promote Members’ Businesses
Chamber members share contacts and opportunities by accessing and recommending each other’s business. The more you recommend other members, the more likely they are to do the same for you. This is a team effort.
Join A Chamber Committee
Chambers often have various boards and committees that allow you to work directly with community leaders, as well as be a leader yourself. These committees always welcome new members and are a great way to network. Service on Chamber committees and boards can help you build stature in your community.
