How To Login
At the top of the Chamber page, select Member Resources, then Member Login. Use your Username and Password to login. Contact Hannah Cole if you have any issues logging in.
Once logged in, it's important that you update your personal information and your company information.
Each month we see about 3000 visitors at the Chamber website. The number one place people go is our event calendar, and the number two place is our member directory. These are people looking to do business with you, our members. Make sure you fill out all your information and include a compelling description of your business so that people will click through to your website and you can do business with them.
Look up your business on our Member Directory. Is your business description as good as it can be? Are your social media channels listed? Your hours of operation? Complete as much as you can and make that sale!
Event Registration
When you register for an event, use the email you provided to the Chamber.
If you have any difficulties signing up for an event, contact Hannah Cole.
Once registered, you will receive important event information and updates prior to the event. Things like parking options, location maps, and whether the event will be inside or outside. Some events have limited capacity so registering early is important.
If you've registered and learn that you will not be able to attend, email Stephanie or Sara and let them know. Many events reach capacity early and people are on a waiting list. Your absence is their admission. It also allows us to give the host an accurate head count for food and amenities.
