Investment Facts:

  • The investment schedule is established by the Chamber's Board of Directors. The schedule is rated on the anticipated annual cost of the Chamber's activities, programs and operational expenses.

  • Membership dues in the Chamber of Commerce may be tax deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Dues paid to the Chamber are not a charitable tax deduction for federal income tax purposes, according to the IRS.  Please consult your CPA for further advice

  • The Chamber's fiscal year is January 1 - December 31. A new member must pay a full year's investment at the time the application is submitted.

  • Investments are payable annually or semi-annually after the first year of membership.

  • Part-time employees (those working less than 30 hours per week) are figured at one-half of the rate of full-time employees.
