Chamber Orientation
Chamber Orientation is designed to help new and prospective members understand how to fully leverage their Chamber membership from day one. During orientation, attendees receive a clear overview of visibility and marketing benefits—including website listings, referrals, media promotion, advertising opportunities, ribbon-cuttings, spotlights, and use of Chamber logos—along with ways to participate in networking events, signature events, roundtables, and promotional campaigns like Small Business Saturday. Orientation also highlights practical resources such as job postings, member-to-member discounts, relocation packets, business counseling, social media assistance, radio opportunities, tourism listings, conference room access, and referral incentives. Most importantly, it connects members to staff, programs, and partnerships that help build credibility, increase exposure, and strengthen relationships within the Page County business community.
