SNEAK PEEK INTO THE WEEK
Renew your Chamber Membership for 2013!
 
The East and South Des Moines Chambers have worked very hard to provide affordable rates to their members while also working to expand programs and benefits. Over the last two years, the Chambers have not increased membership rates even as the cost of providing services has increased. In order to align membership rates with surrounding area Chambers and continue providing all the benefits to our growing member base, the East and South Des Moines Chambers' Board of Directors approved a new fee structure for 2013.

Renewal forms will begin arriving by email in early November. Be sure to watch for your form so you can continue receiving important Chamber benefits in 2013! Please make sure the following address is included in your "safe" email addresses, so your invoice does not end up in a junk mail box: info@edmsdmchambers.org

The 2013 membership fees are as follows:

$2251-4 and non-profits
$3005-10
$42511-30
$62531-70
$80071-100
$1,000101+
