The past year has seen the Chamber in the process of change with a renewed focus on serving our members and being strong stewards of your membership investment. That change began with the arrival of Greg Williams as our President and CEO. With his leadership and the guidance of our Board of Directors, your Chamber will become an even stronger advocate on behalf of the value the business community brings to Lawrence and Douglas County.
In 2013, the Chamber is implementing a dues structure based on business size in which each member business will pay dues based on the number of full-time equivalent employees. There will be separate pricing for Individuals, Retirees, Nonprofits, Banks and Utilities.
This dues structure recognizes and provides equity for the diverse businesses in Lawrence. With this structure, you have the ability to choose which marketing tactics, sponsorships and events most benefit you and your business. Visit our Marketing Opportunities page for details on how to promote your business to other Chamber members.
