"1993 was an exciting year! As a result of the BMW announcement in 1992, economic development in 1993 was extremely active and it seemed like we had a press conference every week to make another announcement of a new company coming to Greenville or the expansion of an existing company."  

-Arnold Burrell

GROUP SAVINGS FOR CHAMBER MEMBERS 


"The Chamber health insurance plan has been of great member benefit and reduced our monthly premiums. We opted for a high deductible/HSA plan with 100% coverage (no co-pays on drugs or doctors, etc.) after meeting the deductible. This plan option has resulted in significant savings for both the company and my family. Before selecting healthcare insurance for your business we recommend you look at the Chamber's Health Insurance plan provided through BlueCross BlueShield."
