We are pleased you are considering becoming a part of the growing business community that represents the future of the South Charlotte Metro Area.
To join the Chamber is very easy. Simply fill out this application and follow the instructions. Depending on membership level, you can pay by credit card or be invoiced.
Your membership is a yearly commitment and begins on the day you join, (versus calendar year based). Your membership fee can be paid in full via a one time credit card charge or via invoice. Alternatively you may pay for your annual membership in semi-annual, quarterly or monthly payments via credit card with only a small service charge per payment. Choose your payment option below after selecting the membership level that best fits your business.
Please note that Chamber membership is a commitment for one year, and the selection of payment method is provided solely as a convenience.
We ask for your personal cell phone number to insure we can reach you in case of any issue relative to your membership, and very rarely to text you important information. Your personal cell phone number is never published.
Need help deciding which membership level is right for you? Call us at the Chamber main number 980-260-1750.
Membership Levels
Select one Chambership level from those listed below by clicking on the circle.
CorpOne through CorpHundred membership levels are the standard membership levels for businesses. The "Corpxxx" membership level for your business is determined based on the equivalent number of full-time employees you employ in your business within the South Charlotte Metro area. For example, if you have 16 part-time employees each working 20 hours per week plus an additional three full-time employees, your equivalent full-time employees is calculated:
16 part time x 20/40 = 8 full time, plus 3 full time =Total: 11 equivalent full-time employees
For this example a business needs to join at the CorpTen membership level (6-20 employees)
Cornerstone and Keystone membership levels are the highest levels of membership and are designed for companies who provide exceptional financial support to the Chamber and desire to have community recognition for their civic leadership. These membership levels are independent of the number of employees in the company.
