Today we’re celebrating National Support Your Local Chamber Day.
This day, celebrated annually on the third Wednesday of October, was created to encourage local business owners, companies and organizations to support the mission and actions of their local Chamber.
Below you’ll find several ways you can show your support of our organization, including some easy social media related options, and we hope you’ll take a moment to show you’re a #ChamberChamp today.
5 Easy Ways to Support Your Local Chamber Today (and every day!)
Join us!
As a nearly 900 member chamber, we are proud to be able to say that your Frederick County Chamber of Commerce is the second largest in the state of Maryland. While we don’t appreciate quantity over quality, we do believe that we are enjoying the best of both thanks to our countless long term, active members who show us daily how much they are devoted to helping us achieve our mission to “move the business community forward by promoting shared interests.”
We are advocates for each of our members in various ways including providing access to and information about policy and policymakers, promoting various businesses and their marketing initiatives, providing educational content and courses as well as access to networking opportunities -opportunities and services that are not afforded to nonmember businesses.
Today we launched our first annual membership drive!
Our goal is to welcome 25 new members between today and November 20, 2021!
