Sponsorship Investment Guide 2025

From the President & CEO

Dear Chamber Members,

I’m excited to share the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce’s new Sponsorship Guide a resource designed to help you connect, engage, and grow within our business community.

At the Chamber, we believe in building strong partnerships that benefit our members Sponsorships are a great way to increase your brand’s visibility, show your support for the region, and be a part of impactful events and programs.

Whether you’re interested in signature events, networking opportunities, or educational programs, there’s a sponsorship option to fit your goals and budget. This guide outlines how you can make the most of your investment while helping us continue our mission to support local businesses.

If you’re looking to boost your brand, build valuable relationships, or give back to the community, we’re here to help you find the right fit. I invite you to explore the guide and reach out we’d love to work with you to create a sponsorship that meets your needs.

Thank you for being part of our Chamber community!
