Benefits of a Chamber membership -
Why you should sign up today!
Becoming a member of our local Chamber of Commerce not only offers valuable networking opportunities but also provides access to resources and support that can help businesses thrive in our community. Below is a list of assistance, aid, and benefits provided to you though our chamber as well as through the provincial Alberta Chambers of Commerce.
Membership Online Directory
Included in your membership is a free listing in our Online Membership Directory. This is a great opportunity to display your business information such as contact information, company website, a web link to your job postings, business category, short description of your business, and a link to Google Map with your business location. All information is searchable, making it easy for users to find the business they are looking for.
Advocacy
The Chamber promotes the contributions and importance of the business sector to our economy, by making the views of business owners known to governments, legislators, the media, and the public. We encourage plans and policies that will enhance the positive growth of business in our communities.
Networking and member get-togethers
Members gain opportunities to create awareness, to source, and stimulate new business through Chamber-organized events. These Chamber events provide networking opportunities with peers, government officials, and business leaders. Members have access to informative guest speakers and training opportunities. Members also receive discounts when fees are charged for either of these educational, interactive opportunities.
Member Discounts
The Chamber works on a two-tiered system for most of their programs. This includes booth rental costs for the Trade Show and tickets for other events such as the Small Business Gala, Christmas Party, and so on. This makes it even more affordable for you to network with other Members of the Lac La Biche and District business community.
Committee Teamwork and Leadership
Our diverse, volunteer-based leadership can make a big difference when mobilizing plans to chart our communities.
The work of the Chamber is accomplished through extensive committee structure with volunteers from business, various professions and individuals working on a variety of issues. The Chamber provides a great opportunity to participate, learn, and be part of an effective, well-rounded team.
