Member Benefits
Why should I join the Chamber?
In short, if you own a business who see the value in a thriving community, with a healthy and stable business sector, you should join the chamber. It is our mission to serve the businesses of Yuma in any way possible.
How does the Chamber directly affect my business?
It depends on the type of business being run. For example, the retail and food industries benefit most directly because Chamber events are designed to literally get people in the door, to shop. Other businesses benefit more indirectly.
When you support your chamber (financially) you are putting money back into the community, in order to make it an enjoyable place to live, and also give businesses a resource to collaborate and build.
