Why should your business be a member of the Chamber of Commerce?
Our answer is straightforward:
To Help Build Your Business
To Help Build Your Community
Our Chamber and our members continue to lead successful community associations within Greene County. Through constructive and proactive Chamber leadership, the true spirit of “asking what you can do for your county” has been a standard business practice. Building our community helps sustain and strengthen overall economic vitality. Vibrant enterprise adds investment and jobs, while adding even more to the civic and charitable engines of our community.
- The real power of the Chamber organization building our community, of course, is the people who volunteer. They are readily distinguished as key business and civic leaders in building and sustaining the economic vitality and quality of life in Greene County.
- Our strength is and always has been our Chamber membership. Chamber members are involved at every level in assessing risks and implementing new business enterprises within our community. As our area’s economy continues to evolve toward a market led by education, highly-skilled technology-based jobs, retail, agri-business and tourism, the Chamber remains pivotal in keeping our members in direct contact with other businesses, markets, workforce, education and governmental agencies.
- Since our founding, the Greene County Chamber of Commerce has been dedicated to advancing the economic vitality and quality of life in the Greene County area so that the entire community can prosper. We are a dynamic, strong, innovative business alliance for all local business and community members.
The Chamber is the key to building a business and building a community – two reasons for any local organization to be a Greene County Chamber of Commerce member.
Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce Affiliate Membership
The Chamber Affiliate Membership Program began in the Fall of 2012. “Small businesses, non-profit and civic organizations are at the heart of our national, state, and regional economies – and our chambers of commerce,” said Patricia L. Cluff, Associate Vice President at the University of Virginia Health System and past Chair of the Chamber Board of Directors. “The regional chamber affiliations offer distinct opportunities for our Chamber members, and our neighboring Chamber members, to network and market their products and services to a broader regional marketplace.”
Eligible Chamber member firms and organizations – 10 or fewer employees, based in the neighboring counties of Greene, Orange, Louisa, and Fluvanna and members of those County Chambers – will become affiliated members of the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce, at no additional charge. Reciprocally, Charlottesville Regional Chamber member firms with 10 or fewer employees will become affiliated members of the neighboring county Chambers, at no additional charge.
Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce will continue to maintain our long-standing policy of providing all new members a free hotlink (website linked through our directory) for the first year of affiliate membership. After the first year, hotlinks for affiliates, just like Charlottesville Chamber members, will be $40. This is an optional benefit. Your business will receive an invoice directly from the CRCC after your first year listed as an affiliate member.
You are encouraged to view the CRCC website, www.cvillechamber.com, and subscribe to its weekly on-line newsletter and calendar for networking opportunities and chamber events in the region hosted by the Charlottesville Chamber.
