Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce
The Benefits of Membership

BUSINESS INFLUENCE
With 170 members and growing, the Chamber speaks for itself with a solid, credible voice for business, industry and other professionals. The Chamber is heard through a number of different venues; our website (www.sugargrovechamber.org) with links to all members’ websites or email addresses, many different newspaper ads including the Elburn Herald, monthly luncheons with guest speakers, Corn Boil festivities, Farmers Market advertising and After-Hours business events.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY
The directory lists all the members alphabetically and categorically. It is distributed to all members. The directory provides answers to the numerous requests about the businesses who are members of the Chamber.

BUSINESS REFERRALS
The Chamber’s response to daily phone calls and written inquiries for products and services are always recommended to members first.

CHAMBER INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
All members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of committees and special task groups which set the agenda for finding solutions to problems and concerns of the business community.

LEADS GROUPS
Leads Group is a proactive members group, consisting of non-competing businesses. These high energy, business minded people meet twice a month to exchange business leads and referrals. There is only one spot available for each particular type of business within each leads group. Therefore members of the group are not competing for business from each other. They are hoping to gain business from each other.

NETWORKING
Our members receive numerous business contacts with every membership luncheon, breakfast, leads group meeting and After-Hours events. These activities are an effective means of expanding our membership network.

ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES
Reach potential clients via Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce and Industry publications; i.e. newsletters, brochures, expos.

FREE WEBSITE LISTING, EMAIL BLAST AND URL LINK
The Chamber website at www.sugargrovechamber.org is a valuable asset to all members, providing links and direct information about their business on the web. The site also provides the viewer updates and information on the happenings within the Chamber.

PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES
There are four committees which offer opportunity to serve the area with your expertise and indirectly promote your business through the development of goodwill.

CALENDAR OF COMMUNITY EVENTS
Information for local businesses and community associations is important for planning meetings and events for your business. This alleviates conflict of business events.

The Chamber meets at noon, on the second Thursday of each month.
