Friday and will be lit up so it can be seen in the window after regular business hours.
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.
