For new and long-standing members alike, there are many simple and impactful ways to maximize your Chamber experience.

Participation is key. Attending events like AM Buzz, Business After Hours, ribbon cuttings, and Public Policy Luncheons offer valuable opportunities to connect with fellow chamber members, elected officials, local community leaders, business owners, and potential clients. These events are intentionally designed to help you build meaningful relationships and grow your network.

Our online member directory, social media posts, and Weekly Digest are powerful tools to boost your visibility. Be sure your Chamber member profile is current on our online member directory. Don’t forget to add a clear and engaging description and links to your website and social media accounts! Tag us on your social media posts so we can help amplify your reach. Depending on your Chamber membership tier, you may also benefit from additional marketing exposure, such as featured grid posts or reels.

Sponsorship is another tool that allows you to align your business or organization with our community. Hosting events show our community that your organization or business is engaged and supportive of Sanford and Lee County.

Your Chamber membership gives you access to the best practices, market trends, research, and learning opportunities that help you stay ahead and resources to stay connected to our community. Use us as your go-to resource. Whether you are looking for a reliable CPA, a nonprofit to support, or a local vendor, start with fellow Chamber members. Doing business within our Chamber community strengthens our local economy.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, small business owner, or corporate executive, the Chamber is your partner for growth and success. The more you engage, the more value you will gain.

Get involved, build connections, and take full advantage of the resources available to you through the Chamber. Together, we can grow your business and strengthen our community.

We are just a phone call or email away.
