What if I don’t have time to attend Chamber functions and programs?
Even if you don’t have time become personally involved in the Chamber’s programs, your partnership still pays off! When you
own/or manage a business, your annual sales and profits are affected by the economy, tax structure, governmental regulations,
quality of the labor force and the overall quality of life. Your investment in the Chamber is an investment in your local organization,
which makes these very issues a priority.
The Chamber’s goals are to support businesses in their effort to grow, recruit new businesses for continued high quality
economic growth, represent the partner’s interest in government and legislative issues and ensure the highest standards for an
improved quality of life.
It is important to the future of your business to ensure that the Lee County region has a healthy business climate. Your
investment in the Lee County Chamber of Commerce helps make this possible.
It you have decided to become a partner of the Chamber, your partnership will automatically renew each year unless you notify us
otherwise. Please note, your investment is not a charitable contribution, but a percentage may be used as a business expense
for tax purposes.
