The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce has accomplished so much in 2023. They hosted a wealth of signature events including their Annual Meeting, Business Awards, Saline Salutes, the Golf Outing, the People’s Choice Awards, and the Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting. The chamber also featured several networking events such as monthly Late Lunch Tuesdays (LLT), Building Business Relationships (BBR) Breakfasts, and quarterly Women in Business events. To get a glimpse at SACC’s 2024 schedule, check out their events page linked here. SACC will host their Annual Meeting at the Kensington Hotel from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm on January 29th. All members in good standing can enjoy a cash bar, complimentary appetizers and a chance to win some prizes. To register, click here.

In addition to all of the chamber’s events, SACC ushered in a new era of membership as its investment model has been completely revamped. Heading into 2024, SACC has a robust new Membership Investment & Sponsorship Schedule that provides more defined value for their businesses. Potential members also have the chance to choose their investment level rather than be placed in one automatically (based on number of employees). SACC’s new model will allow businesses to get exactly what they want out of their investment in SACC. To see the entire new model, visit the chamber site or click here.

If you are interested in becoming a member, it’s as easy as filling out an application here. Once completed and approved, new members can take advantage of our Basic, Partner, Corporate, or Enhanced levels of investment based on what makes the most sense for their business. Interested in volunteering? Email office@salinechamber.org for more details. The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce is extremely excited to serve our members for another year and to show our community what is in store for 2024.
