Member Benefits
When it comes time to write a check we often ask ourselves, what do I get out of
this? I’m sure that many people ask this question when it is time to pay your
annual dues investment to the Chamber.
Two things are important for us to remember: First our dues are an INVESTMENT in
our community. The Chamber’s primary responsibility to, “promote the economic,
commercial industrial and educational interests” of Decatur. In short, your dues
bring customers, clients, and dollars to Decatur.
One large advantage of Chamber membership involves being identified as a good
corporate citizen – someone who is interested in the best interest of the
community. While this is intangible there are definite tangible benefits of
membership. These include:
- Credibility – Chamber members are recognized as leaders in the business
community.
- Business Referrals – the Chamber receives weekly calls from people seeking to do
business in Decatur. These calls are referred to Chamber members.
- Web Exposure - each business receives a page on this site with their contact
