Member Benefits
We take the success of your business very seriously and that is why we partner with the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, and chamber partners throughout the country to work with our elected officials on issues important to your business.
We educate you on issues that may affect your business in our weekly e-newsletter. We also connect you with our elected officials via our Elected Officials Reception so that you can have a one on one conversation with them in a relaxed atmosphere.
Your business will be listed categorically in our printed Community Profile and Membership Directory, which is given to all Chamber members, handed out to residents and tourists who visit our office and distributed at select Chamber events. This directory is also produced electronically and shared on our website.
Your business is also listed categorically in our rack card size directory distributed for us by the Huntingdon County Visitors Bureau.
The Chamber hosts or co-hosts a number of events, giving our members the opportunity to network with each other, as well as stay up to date on important business issues. Events include Business After Hours networking, Coffee Connection breakfasts, a golf tournament, the Annual Membership Luncheon, the Annual Awards Gala, workforce development seminars, and more. Chamber members receive a discounted admission rate.
Past seminars included: Software training, Leadership, Succession Planning, Employment Laws, Employee handbooks, and other HR Seminars.
As a member, we will work with you to plan an event that meets your needs.
Your business will also be listed on our website, which is often the first site people visit when trying to find information about our area. Your listing includes a link to your website, and a map to your location. You can add your Hot Deals/Coupons and Job Postings for free as well as create your own page with hours of operation, location information, business descriptions and key words to make it easier for you to be found in searches.
