New Contacts
The Chamber actively presents a wide variety of programs, providing you with hundreds of opportunities to make profitable new business contacts through personal and professional introductions.

Enhanced Skills
Knowledge is power! Increase your company’s profitability and competitiveness by attending our Small Business Council breakfast seminars. Information-packed meetings on topics relevant to small business management are designed to help you manage your business better and improve your business performance.

Referrals
Our “members only” office resource center displays literature and area information and is accessed daily by visitors, residents and businesses who stop by seeking information on local services, products, dining or recreational activities. Chamber members are loyal to each another and many offer member-to-member discounts so check with us first when you are seeking a service and do business with a Chamber member.

Legislative Action
The Chamber does collectively what none of us can do alone – speak out loudly on behalf of business. As a member, you have a voice in the Chamber’s actions to pass legislation that helps business and prevent the passage of legislation that hurts business. Our links with your legislative representatives and business industry organizations enables you to become a pro-active proponent for better business government.

Programs and Events
The guest list for Chamber events reads like a “who’s who” in the region. Great educational, marketing and networking opportunities present themselves at Chamber programs. Here’s a sampling of our calendar of events:

Bi-monthly Business After Hours, Annual Business Exposition, Annual Spinnaker Awards Dinner, Monthly Small Business Council Breakfast Meetings, Annual Holiday Networking and Gift Drive, Annual Seaside Clambake, Annual Epicurean Event…and more!
