Member Sponsorships

High visibility and advertising value is offered to members who sponsor a Chamber event, such as Oktoberfest, Christmas Tree Auction, Annual Awards Banquet, Business After Hours, Eggs n Issues, State of the Chamber Luncheon, and Business Seminars. As event sponsors, their name is prominently displayed and promoted. Pre-event publicity and mailings afford them broad advertising exposure at no additional cost above their sponsorship fee.
