Visit our website www.FayBiz.com & learn more How can the Chamber help your organization succeed? The Greater Fayetteville Chamber is about business, and businesses want a return on their investment. Going forward, the Chamber wants to ask our members how we can help them in their growing businesses. We will listen to their feedback and begin working on solutions. Chamber membership is necessary for organizations from start-up to Multinational Corporation. In order to retain and recruit members, the Chamber must demonstrate its relevancy and value [ROI] to all members of the business community. -2025 Task Force Report The Chamber will demonstrate the benefit and value of membership in three key ways: Advocacy: Promoting Business Friendly Public Policy. The Chamber put this practice into action in early June. The Government Affairs Committee of the Chamber will present to the City Council our recommendations for revisions to the sign ordinances in the City of Fayetteville that will expand and allow tasteful but prominent and visible signage for our business community. If enacted this will be the first meaningful change to the ordinance in over 20 years. Visibility: The Chamber has multiple ways for every business to gain a higher level of visibility. As we move forward together, we will be sure that the business community understands these options. These include attending or hosting networking events, sending an email blast to our membership of their upcoming events, advertising on the Chamber website, sponsorship of upcoming events, posting member-to-member deals, choosing to be a Chamber Ambassador, and our business magazine Engage. Educational/Professional Development: Today we provide several classes, not only to members but also to the public, including classes to contractors seeking to do business with state, local and the Federal government and member orientation program. The Greater Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce has a bright future because of the unlimited potential of our community. Join the Chamber today and begin growing your business!
