North Shore Chamber Member Benefits Resource Tips to Grow Your Business

Salem Harbor Power plant public hearing attracts crowd in Salem - Salem News Article

The most impassioned opposition came from Pat Pollard, a Marblehead resident who lives across from the plant. She said area residents have suffered serious health problems over the years and that it “matters little” what fossil fuel is burned.

The Strength of Numbers - The North Shore Chamber of Commerce offers you the strength of a unified organization, working together toward mutual business and community goals.

“Today we know that power plants should not be sited in densely populated areas,” she said. “It is unconscionable to site a new power plant in Salem.”

Governed by members, with a Board of Directors elected from a slate of business members, the Chamber is your voice in the business community and government.

Bringing together the ideas, energy and economic strength of all our members, the North Shore Chamber of Commerce can accomplish collectively what no single member can do individually.

Government Representation - The Chamber serves as a liaison between members and government, working with local officials toward common goals and serving as a unified voice on behalf of business.

Business Contacts - The Chamber hosts a variety of activities and events where you can meet community leaders and other business people. Breakfasts, networking events, meetings and functions provide excellent opportunities for networking and development of profitable business relationships.

Chamber Referrals - The chamber receives regular inquiries about the products and services available in our area, which are referred to Chamber members only. Members often provide referrals to other members as well.

Advertising and Publicity - All members benefit from promotion in the chamber's publications, which include a annual member directory that reaches thousands of area businesses every year. Our monthly newsletter provides a forum for business news and advertising space is available at attractively low rates.

Recognition - As a Chamber member, you will receive a membership listing, representing a positive image of civic pride and community involvement for your business.

Education & Training - In cooperation with local educational resources, the Chamber helps promote series programs designed to meet your business needs and expand your opportunities.

Information - The Chamber provides information on local, state and federal issues that can affect your business.
