Why Join?

Members of the Chamber can meet on equal ground to work towards both the success of their respective business or organization and for the economic, civic, cultural, and social betterment of the area.

Being a member of the Chamber is something to be proud of. Not only does it show that you care about your business, but it shows your customers that you are connected to your community.

As a Chamber we are loyal to our members. When newcomers and businesses need referrals they almost always turn to the Chamber. Where do we send them? To our members.

All members are welcome to join any committee or special event and the board and staff are always open to new ideas, event suggestions, and assistance.

Membership in the Greater Fayette County Chamber of Commerce is an investment in the region, in the other members, and most importantly, in your own business or service.  Some have said that chamber membership doesn’t cost… it pays.
