Membership eligibility and employee count are based on the total number of W-2 employees across the entire company. When an individual store or branch applies for membership, it establishes membership for the full organization. Franchises may only join as a single store location if they are wholly owned and operate independently from the corporate entity.
For non-profits with no paid employees, they may declare their published Board Members as part of their Membership at the time of joining/renewal. This count will be used to determine the membership level and may not be changed for the following 12-month period. Please submit a public list of your board members, either published on your website or identified on your most recent publicly available IRS 990.
For ALL Chamber Members, membership and participation are limited to representing the Member organization only. At no time shall board members/employees represent their own personal company/employer unless such company is also a Member of the Chamber. Any activities representing an organization that is not a Chamber member will be considered non-member activities, regardless of other affiliations with a Chamber member.
All new memberships will be charged a one-time $75 administrative processing fee.
