Tiered Dues Information
Our chamber has seen incredible growth in the past decade, and we now boast over 600 members strong! In an effort to provide the best possible services to our members, we have increased our capabilities over the last few years to provide more opportunities for networking, free business workshops, expanded membership services, upgraded events, new technology and much, much more. These enhanced services for our members are a testament to our dedication to supporting our business community.
The next step in our strategic plan was the implementation of a new, more efficient dues structure. This new structure for chamber dues was launched on January 1st, 2024 and includes five levels of membership, each with its own list of benefits. The levels were built with input from dozens of local businesses over the past year and reflect the needs of different types of Gilmer Chamber members. We look forward to a successful year for all Chamber businesses!
For questions, comments, or to book an appointment with our membership staff to discuss the levels of membership, please email elleng@gilmerchamber.com
