*We currently offer membership dues on a structure based on the number of Full-Time Equivalent Employees, or FTEs. For example, if you are a small business and work full time, with 2 additional part-time employees, your FTE count would roughly be “2”. If you’re still not sure, try this: take the # of payroll hours in a week /40 hours. For example, 367 payroll hours would be 9.175 employees, which we round to 9 FTEs.
Other Opportunities for Businesses
*If you have a corporate headquarters and separate branches or businesses under the same umbrella, we can help you!
- Same Branded locations (think Bank branches, Coffee Shops) – Count the full number of people in all the locations you’d like listed with corporate, and have all branches listed, not just the corporate branch. Your dues would be where your total employee count hits for all branches included. Ex: 147 FTE employees across 4 branches and HQ = $1000, and those 4 branches and HQ can be listed separately in our directory, and all staff can participate in chamber events.
- Differently Branded locations (think hotels or restaurants) It is a minimum of our base rate of $300 per differently branded property under the same corporate umbrella.
*Non-profits are businesses. We do not discount memberships for non-profits*, however – we will offer non-profits 1/2 of your membership fee (new AND upon renewal) annually in Chamber Channel Advertising IF your membership is paid in FULL (not quarterly, monthly, etc.) EX: For a non-profit with 50 employees, your dues would be $600, you would have $300 in advertising credit if you pay your dues in the annual renewal amount. You can use this for our quarterly mailer, weekly update, and job postings! *If your non-profit has ZERO paid staff, please contact us. (This opportunity is designed to help our small to mid-size local and field office non-profits that do not receive government funding as a primary revenue stream and have less than 100 employees; credit resets at renewal; it does not accumulate).
*New Businesses SMART START – If you make a SMART START and decide to join the chamber within the first three months of OPENING your business, AND you pay your dues in FULL (not quarterly, monthly, etc.), You’ll receive $100 in soft credit for Chamber Channel Advertising. You can use this for our quarterly mailer, weekly update, and job postings! (Available for any size membership, expires one year from membership date).
