Why Join the Chamber?
The Chamber's mission is to be an advocate for business. The Chamber will increase business exposure through signage and this web site. The Chamber is a forum where various business owners can meet to understand local issues and come up with solutions. The Chamber can act as a conduit to land owners or government agencies to help resolve issues. The Chamber runs events such as the Cremona Show and Shine that increases exposure to the village and its businesses.
As a Chamber member there are also a number of Value Added Benefits such as fuel, insurance and shipping discounts - take a look here.
The Chamber has a hiway sign in Water Valley available for Chamber members advertising and also park benches in Cremona.
The Chamber is also a community group that often gets involved in and provides financial support to various community activities managed by other organizations. It is a good place to give back to the community.
