The Member Investor Network involves picking a membership plan, getting approved, and “enjoying the benefits.” Three membership plans are available to businesses and organizations in Lewis County and beyond: Engage, Evolve, and Impact.
In addition to these, community members have the option to be involved through the Belong contribution, the organizations say.
“The Chamber is intended to serve its members in the most beneficial way possible,” Nick Mir, chairman of the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce, said. “We know that there is room for improvement and our community deserves an organization that is willing to innovate and to try new things in the name of a healthier business economy.”
In the coming year, the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce will begin working towards a formal partnership with Naturally Lewis. Through prior collaborations and member feedback, the Chamber of Commerce understands that a partnership with Naturally Lewis is an “opportunity to continue and further its impact on the community and provide new opportunities and benefits for its valued member businesses.”
“We’ve been talking to the community and there is such a need for a collaborative effort to provide for the growing business scene in Lewis County” Kristen Aucter, executive director of the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce, said. “This partnership through the Member Investor Network is the first step of a really incredible shift to streamline efforts and provide more support to businesses in Lewis County.”
“As part of our future partnership, the new Member Investor Network is not just about businesses getting perks for being members, it’s about developing businesses and, in turn, investing in economic and community development for the future of Lewis County” Brittany Davis, executive director of Naturally Lewis, added.
