WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?
 

Every business within a community should be a part of the local Chamber of Commerce for the areas they do business within.  Chamber membership provides you with a wealth of discounts, educational and marketing opportunities as well as supporting community events, there for your clients themselves.  The Belleville Area Chamber of Commerce supports a myriad of community programs including but not limited to Strawberry Festival Carnival and Winter Fest.   

This year we’ve refocused our efforts of how to provide more and better services to our members.  We are currently in process of implementing new programs that have proven successful for our new Executive Director in other communities.  We are slowly rolling out new programs and procedure and so far, members like what they’ve seen.  Coming this fall we will be providing a series of educational seminars, which will provide training and support for members and their employees.  Our new networking events will begin in July, along with the launch of a revamped new resident & business welcome package program.  Don’t miss out on all the free promotional opportunities, join now and save even more money before our new membership rates and structure is implemented this summer.
