WHY JOIN THE CANTON CHAMBER?
A stronger network, right here in our region
Connect with nearly 1,900 businesses working together to grow and move the region forward. Most members see the value of membership come back through new connections, visibility and business opportunities.
We represent business at the advocacy table
From local to regional efforts, we’re working on the issues that impact your business every day and invite you to have a seat at the table when it matters most.
Built-in visibility from day one
We offer ribbon cuttings, sponsorships as well as free and low-cost marketing opportunities to help you stay visible. Get your business listed in our directory, plus newsletters, social media and member communications.
Healthcare coverage that works for small business
Members with 2-50 employees can access our Health Fund (MEWA), designed to give smaller employers a more competitive local option for health insurance.
Strong retirement benefits that help you compete
Offer your employees a stronger 401(k) through the Multiple Employer Plan without taking on the financial burden or risk alone.
