Member Spotlight

The Member Spotlight Program is a new initiative in 2026 and is designed to showcase and promote our member businesses while strengthening connections within our business community. A Chamber member can be featured through a dedicated spotlight article in one of the Chamber’s bi-monthly e-newsletters—either the membership or travel-focused edition—along with a coordinated Facebook post reaching our broader audience.

Spotlights highlight a member’s story, services, community involvement, and recent achievements, providing meaningful exposure to fellow members, residents, and visitors alike. Content is provided by the participating member.

Participation is limited to one spotlight per member per calendar year to ensure exclusivity and maximum visibility. The cost is $50 per spotlight, offering an affordable and effective marketing opportunity while supporting the Chamber’s mission and programs.
