Better Connections.
We understand the value in the relationships developed, the connections made and the opportunities taken advantage of through time spent with other members. This year, you were given the opportunity to meet decision makers and potential clients at 74 programs and events, 416 Leads Group meetings, as well as three annual events each boasting more than 400 attendees.
As a member of the Chamber, your circle of influence is 1,600 businesses and 50,000 individuals larger.
More Business.
Chamber members received 1.4 million points of contact this year (via online directory & phone inquiries). The Chamber also welcomed 261 new members providing you with the opportunity to build more relationships.
The Chamber is the recognized source for business.
New Opportunities.
You were introduced to a small-group activity allowing a platform for building
relationships and doing business. The Chamber also introduced you to a new partnership program
allowing you to save money on office supplies.
Connect For Lunch was successfully launched with 416 connections made, and 20 Chamber restaurants receiving business to date. Our members saved $120,000 on the major business expense of office supplies through the DOCS program.
Community Development.
Your commitment to the region was demonstrated by your membership in its largest, most influential business organization.
The Chamber membership sticker in your window, and your proud member logo on your website, sent a positive message about your business, as well as our local business community.
Added Visibility.
Chamber members took advantage of exclusive opportunities to spread the word about their businesses through sponsorships, advertising, ribbon cuttings and free coverage within the Chamber e-News and Chamber website.
Your message reaches the premier business audience of business leaders, elected officials and young professionals in the Tallahassee area.
A Bigger Voice.
The Chamber’s governmental affairs committee and coalitions acted as your business advocates bringing the voice of local business to elected officials in the halls of government.
You were able to focus on your business while we worked with local, state and federal governments to protect it.
Minimal Dues. Maximum Connections.
