It is time to update and publish our annual Membership and Resource Guide!  The Chamber has once again partnered with ECM Publishers to produce this year's directory.  In the coming weeks, you will be contacted by one of their representatives to discuss which advertising option is the best fit for you.  The annual Membership and Resource Guide will be distributed in January 2015 and gives your investment one full year of shelf life.  Members want to do business with other members, and that is why this reference guide is the perfect complement to the networking events you participate in.  Please support the Chamber and use this exclusive member guide to let your fellow businesses know what you can do for them throughout the year. Additionally, please take this time to log in to your account and update your main representative, address, telephone and website. Please email Chelsea if you would like to purchase an additional category or representative listing.
