Increasing Chamber Membership
At our July executive meeting we discussed ways and means of increasing Chamber membership as we really would like to get more people and businesses participating in our Chamber to strengthen its value to all of us. Having a variety of members attend our meetings with a mix of old, new, frequent and rarely seen faces is what makes meetings both vibrant and useful.
With this in mind it was felt that in order to further encourage members to bring in guests and encourage them to join as members that we should introduce a payment of a commission for getting a new member to sign on the dotted line. So in the future any new member can indicate whether they were brought into the Chamber by an existing member and that member will receive 50% of the new member’s annual fee. This commission will be paid direct to the individual, not to the Company.
