Are you a Leander chamber member? If not, why not? For years chamber membership was considered a civic duty. It is still a civic duty today but falls greatly to about the seventh reason why individuals and businesses join. The top reasons for joining a local chamber, in this case we refer to Leander, is for marketing purposes, either networking or chamber-exclusive advertising opportunities. Local residents, cities, businesses and the greater public all rely on Chambers of Commerce. Leander’s Chamber is no exception, in fact it is a model of success because it is the single most utilized source of information for civic, community and business resources in Leander and surrounding areas. Through its relationship building and innovative programs to benefit its city and member businesses, the Greater Leander Chamber of Commerce has earned a well-respected reputation among chambers, government officials, developers and businesses statewide. Leander’s chamber actively supports the City’s economic growth initiates and develops complimentary programs. For businesses, Leander’s chamber offers numerous marketing opportunities in the form of networking, publicity and exclusive advertising. For individuals (as well as business members) the chamber offers a host of volunteer opportunities to help strengthen the Chamber and the Leander community. Annual membership fees have remained affordable and new benefits and features continue to be added. Look for the Official Leander Street Map (in its second printing) to be published soon and the annual Leander Community Profile and Membership Directory later in the year. Both publications offer exclusive member advertising.
