New Member Checklist

Welcome to the Chamber! We’re excited to help you connect with new clients, customers, colleagues, and collaborators as we work together for a thriving business community.

Below is a checklist of suggestions to help you get involved and make the most of your Chamber membership.

Explore

  • Attend Chamber 101. This event is our orientation for new Chamber members. Find upcoming dates and registration here.
  • Read the Chamber newsletter. Check your inbox for Chamber News, member spotlights, monthly events, and occasional special updates. You can sign up for roundtable newsletters and update your preferences here.
  • Log in and explore the Members area. Manage your directory listing and member profile, find contact info for individual members, register for events and more.

Connect

  • Sign up to attend Chamber events. Check the calendar for networking events, affinity group meetings, member ribbon cuttings, and special events. You can register and pay online.
  • Join a roundtable, council or committee. Meet and collaborate with colleagues in your industry through one of our volunteer-led affinity groups.
  • Connect with the Chamber and your fellow members on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, and YouTube. Tag us and share your business stories & accomplishments!

Promote

  • Review your marketing and sponsorship opportunities. We have a wide variety of options to fit your needs – from easy, free online promotions to top-tier annual sponsorships.
  • Consider becoming a Partner In Trust. Our Partners In Trust program is a leadership circle whose members have the ability and desire to invest in the Chamber beyond the standard membership dues – to help us build the strongest, most collaborative and successful business community in the region.
  • Review your Chamber directory listing. Maximize your online presence in our member directory. Add a short description of what you do and some keywords to help searchers find you. Check that your contact information is correct. Add a website URL, photos, and social network links. Not sure how? See Frequently Asked Questions for instructions.​
  • Share your news and events with the Chamber community. Upload your latest press release to the Member Newsroom, share an announcement in our weekly e-newsletter, or add your special events to the Chamber calendar. See Submit News for instructions.
  • Submit a Chamber Spotlight. Let the Chamber community get to know you. See Submit News for instructions.
