Member Benefits
Business Advocacy:
We look out for business interests in the region. When local business owners face issues, or regulations that challenge our way of doing business, the Chamber, through its government relations outreach, can provide help in accessing local and statewide political leaders.
Regional Engagement:
Chamber staff and volunteers represent member companies by undertaking prominent roles with other regional business groups, with a particular focus on economic development, infrastructure, education and work force development, making the region an even better place to live, work and raise a family.
Educational Opportunities:
The Chamber Board of Directors and staff work with local and state organizations to provide free workshops and seminars to benefit our members, their employees and the community.
Sponsorship:
This will give you great exposure to promote your business and give you the chance to support your Chamber. You will have opportunities to partner with the Chamber on various events, program, seminars or meetings throughout the year.
NetMixers:
NetMixers are held monthly and are a fun way to meet potential new customers and network with fellow colleagues. There is no charge to attend, however it is encouraged for attendees to bring a raffle prize so that you can have the opportunity to announce yourself and your business. The NetMixers are held at one of our members business locations on the 2nd Wednesday of each month for 5:30 to 7pm.
E-Blast and Social Media:
Send us your flyer on what’s going on at your business and we will email it off to over a 1000 members and residents on our E-Blast list. We also push it out through our many social media sites and pages. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Let us help you market and promote your business.
Ribbon Cuttings:
To help promote your new business, grand opening, anniversary, or new owner/change in management we’ll help coordinate a ribbon cutting event. Your ribbon cutting will be published in the Lincoln News Messenger on our Chamber page and on our website. To ensure a successful ribbon cutting, we recommend serving refreshments, giving away door prizes and possibly providing entertainment.
Chamber Plaque:
All new members receive a Chamber plaque for you to proudly display at your place of business.
Business Referrals:
Consumers and businesses contact the Chamber daily for recommendations. Inside our office we have space to display your contact info such as your cards, brochures and flyers. The Chamber staff relays its members contact info when asked by a consumer.
