Membership Services and Benefits

At the Oconee Chamber, we focus on providing support, connections, and value for local businesses. Our organization believes that we should market our member businesses at every opportunity while providing meaningful opportunities to connect them to new customers, vendors, and friends. We utilize a variety of partnerships and channels to make sure that your annual investment means direct value for you. We work behind the scenes when you don’t always have time to help promote and market your businesses to all potential customers.

We also believe that cultivating community leads to a more prosperous economic climate. We provide social opportunities to connect, build, and celebrate together as professionals who are all working to make Oconee a better place to live, work, and play. Through volunteer efforts, the Chamber advocates on behalf of local business on local and state policy issues, work with new and existing companies to get off the ground, and jump in wherever needed to complete community projects.

We dedicate time and effort each day to make sure that we are serving not only our members, but newcomers, visitors, and the community at large as a local information resource and facilitator for business referrals.
