As you review all seven levels of the Tiered Dues Membership Structure, we are confident that you will agree that the tiered membership plan recognizes the diversity of our membership and provides tangible value. We are so fortunate that our Chamber membership is truly representative of our overall business community -- from the mom and pop businesses to the multibillion dollar corporations -- and from our local enterprises to the multinational firms. We recognize that these different member groups derive different benefits from a Chamber, and with the tiered dues structure we have the ability to meet the diverse, evolving expectations of our local businesses.
As you review each level, remember, these tiered membership levels are purposefully not a one-size-fits-all situation. The annual investment is based on the number of employees and the amount of the dues also reflects more benefits which will benefit your business.
