New Members and Re-investors

Membership is the most valuable asset to a chamber and we’ve been fortunate enough to have new members invest, as well as, members who have re-invested in our Chamber.  These folks see the importance of what the Chamber of Commerce does for them and they recognize that we are here to promote local businesses and help them succeed.  Without their commitment to the Chamber, we would be unable to do that.  Their membership dues go towards the efforts to recruit business, industry, residents and visitors to our area. By putting back into their Chamber, they are making a commitment to the positive growth of our area.  The money they invest in us also allows us to host various community events to provide a better quality of life for our area. Thanks to those that realize how important it is to be involved in the Chamber! When you visit them, let them know how much you appreciate their investment in our community!  We are doing together what none of us can do alone! See_a_full_list_here_of_those_who_have_committed_to_the_Boaz_Chamber last month!

Chamber - Working Behind The Scenes For You - April 2008

For those of you that are new to the site, we use this area to keep everyone up to date on how we are helping our members and our community by giving information to the outside world.  This section lets you know what people are asking for from your Chamber.  We work hard behind the scenes to get the word out about you and your business, as well as, all the great things our area has to offer!  Remember, we promote members first, so if you know someone who isn’t a member that could benefit from the Chamber, let them see our stats.  We answer questions about you everyday! See a full list of the reasons people contact the Chamber here.
