What Is the Greenville Area Chamber of Commerce

The Greenville Area Chamber of Commerce is an association of professionals concerned about improving the area in which they do business. We are a not-for-profit organization. Our strength lies in the number and diversity of our membership. Both large and small businesses from virtually every profession are represented and influence the direction of the Chamber’s programs. These programs are financed largely by membership dues. We are not a government or political entity.

Janet Shilling - Carried Away Outfitters

“Being a new business owner, the chamber has given us the confidence to grow. We've been very successful using new ways to market on social media that we learned at the "Small Business Growth Series." Networking at the "Business EXPO" has not only brought us new customers but also good suggestions at how to market to audiences we haven't been able to target. Working with larger businesses at events has shown us more efficient ways to accomplish business housekeeping. Lastly, getting involved in the chamber planning events gives new enthusiasm and motivation toward helping our community.”

Stephanne Burns - State Farm Insurance

“When I left my career in the corporate world to become self- employed, I knew I would need to get our name out into the community. Joining the Chamber has been such a rewarding, beneficial, and fun way to achieve just that objective. My team and I have felt very welcome. Having all grown up around the area, we are all familiar with the struggles of a small town. We love that we can be involved and give to the community as well as build our business with people just like us. The benefits of the advertising and social networking have helped us become a fresh face in the community. We are very grateful and blessed to be in Greenville.”

F.A.Q.

  • ALL memberships run on an annual calendar basis. Renewal invoices are sent at the beginning of December each year and payable in 30 days.

  • New members will select a tier and pay a discounted rate dependent on the quarter that you are seeking membership.

  • Yes and No. We encourage members to review the tiers annually as we may make changes to better fit the needs of our members. You will receive an invoice at the beginning of December at your current tier level. At this time, you can choose to stay at your current level by paying the invoice, or you may choose to upgrade to a different level.

  • Yes. All Members will be reminded. All Members must RSVP regardless of the amount of free tickets included in your tier.

  • Yes and No. The tiers were built based off of research on membership participation. For accounting and administrative purposes, the tiers come as is. You can, however, always add to a tier with the items on the à la carte add on menu.

  • No. We would like to see companies or businesses who look to gain access to benefits do so by first becoming a member and then by selecting the proper tier level.

  • Likely, No. If the items selected match all of the parts of a higher tier, then yes. If they are a more tailored selection that do not match up with what a tier offers, then no.

  • See “Can I offer my access to benefits to another company?” above.

  • Email promotions not used in a year time frame do not apply to the next cycle; they expire at the end of the calendar year. View our e-Blast best practices for helpful tips and some restrictions that apply.
