Ten Excuses for Not Being a Chamber Member

1.My business is too small. To expand your business, you must expand the community that does business with you. Local Chambers of Commerce work continuously to better local business climates. No business is too small to benefit from this activity because as the community grows, local businesses grow with it.

2.I’m too busy to attend Chamber meetings. Meetings are important, but so is your financial support. Numerous Chamber committees carry on important local projects and each needs an adequate budget. If you are too busy to attend meetings right now, join so that your contribution will make it possible for the staff and regular committees to get the jobs done.

IF YOU DON’T BELONG TO YOUR LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE?
