Jennifer Wagner Director of Member Engagement, Retention & Services
Your Chamber membership is more than just a listing in our directory; it’s a powerful tool for growth, connection, visibility, and sustainability within the local business community. Whether you’re a new member or a longtime supporter, there are countless ways to leverage your Chamber benefits to boost your business. In this article, we’ll walk through a few practical ways to maximize your membership and ensure you’re getting real value from being part of our Chamber community.
Identify what you hope to gain from your membership
Whether your goal is to connect with fellow business professionals and potential clients, grow through educational programs and workshops, increase your visibility as a community leader, or take advantage of valuable benefits like our group health insurance plan through Medical Mutual or workers’ compensation program with Sedgwick, we’re here to help you shape a Chamber experience that fits your unique business needs.
Include your entire staff in your membership
Your membership includes your entire staff, and the more they are involved, the more value your membership will bring. The Chamber offers a wide range of events and programs designed to benefit individuals in all roles within your organization.

You put everything you have into your business. And we put everything into creating high-quality health insurance plans for you and your employees. We've partnered with the Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development and Council of Smaller Enterprises (COSE) to offer a unique benefit option for small businesses like yours. The COSE Benefit Plan is a multiple employer welfare arrangement (MEWA) that allows businesses of 1–50 to experience rate stability, savings and the same great health benefits that large corporations have. Bundle your health plan with our dental, vision or life plans for a fully integrated benefits package.
