Top 10 Reasons to Invest in your Chamber

10. YOUR INVESTMENT gives you another pair of eyes. Eyes of specialized observers who maintain a watch on legislation which affects every citizen of the community, and watching to be sure the quality of life in the area is maintained.

9. YOUR INVESTMENT gives you a number of one time discounts on everything from advertising to catering events.

8. YOUR INVESTMENT gives you a front office. All Chamber members can display their business cards and/or brochures at the Chamber office. The Chamber is a place where visitors gain their first impressions of the soundness and the hospitality of the community. It is also the first place many new residences come to, to ask for referrals.

7. YOUR INVESTMENT helps the Chamber carry out its yearly Program of Work.

6. YOUR INVESTMENT means you have the opportunity to meet the business and community leaders through networking events such as Business After Hours, Wake Up to Southfield, Entrepreneur Innovation Series, and our Annual State of the City.

5. YOUR INVESTMENT gives YOU the opportunity to let your feelings be known and get involved. The Chamber is active in many areas and your interests will probably fall in one of these areas.
