Your 2023 Chamber of Commerce
As promised in the 2022 Annual General Meeting, your Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce has been enjoying an exciting year of renewal and development as it works to earn its place as an essential business partner for its members.
2023 Membership Packages
These new packages will soon be available for purchase through this member portal. Billing options will also expand to include monthly or quarterly charges for annual memberships.
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| Patron | A retired professional or previous business owner from the Upper Ottawa Valley who chooses to remain involved with the chamber but would not benefit from many of the business supports provided by the Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce can instead purchase this patron membership to remain a voting member of the chamber and engage in our events and activities. |
| Ignitor | This membership package is ideal for a solopreneur, home-based small business with no employees seeking learning and development opportunities, embarking on its growth plan, and seeking to connect with the local business community. |
| Activator | Small businesses with ‘brick and mortar’ office or storefront and fewer than 25 employees, or charities, associations and not-for-profits that support clientele in the local community will benefit from this membership package designed to help develop and establish a recognizable local brand. |
| Collaborator | The Collaborator is a mid-sized business with a brand, reach and network in the local community and positioning itself as a community presence or leader within its sphere of influence. |
| Influencer | The Influencer is a small municipality, a regional or national not-for-profit or association, or a regional leader in its business sector with brand recognition and reach beyond the local community. This membership package provides growth opportunities particularly as a visible presence in the local business community and in government relations that impact the region’s economy. |
| Visionary | The Visionary is a large municipality, institution, or enterprise that is an influential leader in the region or business sector and seen as a mentor and respected presence in the economic ecosystem and the business community. |
| Associate | An additional branch or location for a current member business in good standing, this associate branch or location would have its own vote and representation as a full member. Please note that separate businesses under the same ownership but with distinct brands and operations would not qualify for an associate membership but would rather purchase their own full membership with the chamber. |
