For 10 years, the Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber of Commerce has been supporting local businesses, and they are growing, too! Consider these fun facts about the Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber:

“Some chambers get so large, it’s easy to get lost,” said Ginny Chase, the director of the Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber of Commerce. “We pride ourselves on our commitment to small business. The Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber of Commerce is a perfect t for entrepreneurs. The membership fee is reasonably priced for any budget and opens the doors for network opportunities that may not be possible otherwise! While we do have many small businesses represented, we also have large businesses, franchises and non-pro ts. We are very excited about our non-pro t growth. Non-pro t funding is cautiously spent, for obvious reasons. When you consider that 10% of our chamber members are non-pro ts, it speaks volumes to our ability to help organizations grow. They trust us to help meet that need and, after 10 years, many of our charter members are still with us!”

In addition to the bene ts of in-person meetings, the LewisvilleClemmons Chamber of Commerce offers great online bene ts as well, including the online membership directory for local businesses. Categorized by business type, rather than name, the ow of the online directory enables visitors to nd a particular brand of expertise, even if they don’t know the name of the business. It’s a valuable addition to the very affordable membership fees.
