Dear Valued Chamber Member:

Due to your inspirational commitment to your Madison County Chamber of Commerce and your community, we are proud to announce that Chamber membership has increased from 73 members in January 2020 to 300 members strong in July 2022. We celebrate this accomplishment with you, and we hope that you can join us for our Membership Appreciation Celebration on August 30th, 2022 from 6:00-7:00 pm at Boutier Winery!

1) MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT PACKAGE ENHANCEMENTS

2) ANNUAL BILLING

Moving forward, all members will be billed each December for the upcoming year. This means that all members will be invoiced in December 2022 for your 2023 membership. You will no longer be renewing on your anniversary month. While there are many advantages to an annual billing system, the main advantage is that an annual billing better complements our tier benefit packages. We can more effectively and efficiently serve members when we know which level you will be renewing at the beginning of the year rather than from month to month

Action Needed by September 20th, 2022

If you currently renew January-July: Your December 2022 invoice for your 2023 membership will be credited. If you currently renew August-December: You will not receive an invoice during those months in addition to the December 2022 invoice for your 2023 membership. Your December 2022 invoice will be prorated to account for your 2023 membership package.

So that we can accurately prepare your December 2022 invoice, we need to know which membership package you prefer for your 2023 membership. Please complete this brief form: https://forms.gle/8bRBfX1zUqv3cbPr7 

With your partnership, we are excited to take this organization to the next level. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Your success is our business,
