Mission : To actively recruit Chamber membership from business, civic, and educational sectors of the Greater Salem area by promoting membership benefits and orienting new members toward active participation.

The Membership Committee is focused on bringing new members into the Chamber, making them feel welcome and helping them recognize the benefits their business will experience.   Members of the committee are available to answer questions about membership cost and benefits.   Committee members also greet new members at the Business After Hours events and introduce them to other business professionals in their contact sphere.   In addition, they accompany new members to the New Members Reception where they introduce them to the Board of Directors and various Committee Chairs.

 

Many business relationships have been sparked after an introduction at a Business After Hours or a committee meeting.   Individuals on the Membership Committee are always on the lookout for new businesses in the towns that the Chamber serves and often will go to new businesses to welcome the owners into the community and invite them to explore the many benefits the Chamber has to offer.   This year the committee has made a goal of acquiring 10 new members every month.   We are working very hard to achieve this goal and are looking for new members to join our committee to help us succeed.
