What membership actually does

Three outcomes, not ten features

You get customers

Members do business with members. Referral groups like SVBC meet weekly for exactly one purpose: passing business to each other. Your directory listing puts you in front of every visitor searching for what you sell.

You get credibility

The same Chamber that Apple, Amazon, and Intel partner with vouches for your business. For a small company, that association changes how prospects read you.

You get a voice

Decisions that hit your wallet get made in council chambers, at the county, and in Sacramento — and an independent regional chamber can speak across all of them, not just the one town it belongs to.

Proof

In members’ own words

“The Chamber is an essential part of brainSHARE’s operation. It facilitates our growth through networking which helps us support the growth of other businesses.”

Joe Siecinski
brainSHARE · 2017–18 Board Chair

“The Silicon Valley Chamber has been dedicated to the economic development of Silicon Valley and helping the diverse business community connect and grow together.”

Diana Weiping Ding
Ding Ding TV · Board of Directors

“[Outcome story goes here: a member who can say what percentage of their revenue traces to Chamber referrals. SVBC referral group members are the natural candidates. Two short interviews fill this space.]”
