Get The Benefits of Thurston Chamber Membership

Members of the Thurston County Chamber know that their membership is important for three vital reasons.

First, membership helps you connect with new clients, customers and businesses. Connect at a networking event. Connect through a sponsorship opportunity. Connect through our advertising packages. We provide opportunities for connection and business success!

Second, membership helps you gain new and repeat customers! A national study by The Schapiro Group showed that when people know a small business is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 44 percent more likely to think favorably of that business and 63 percent more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.

Finally, membership supports the Chamber’s stewardship mission, creating a healthy and prosperous community.
