  • Membership Options

    Member involvement is important to the Salem Chamber. We have generated a number of different membership levels for you so you can choose the level of involvement that is right for your business. Regular membership starts at $360 ($240 for non-profit organizations).  Enhanced membership* options vary, starting at the $700 intermediate level, going up to the $7,000 all-in Presenting Package.

    Regular Member: $360
    Non-profit Member: $240
    Enhanced Member: $700 - $7,000 (please call or email the Chamber for the best fit for your organization)


    *Participants in the enhanced membership program are recognized year-round at major events, on our website, and in Chamber programs and publications. Enhanced Members are asked only one time about contributions, sponsorships and/or advertising opportunities, making it more efficient from a time and budgeting standpoint. The Chamber benefits by knowing every year what sponsorships and non-dues income it can expect to receive. Want to learn more? Clease call or email the Chamber for the best fit for your organization. We will happily meet with you to discuss what option fits your business best.

    eing a member of the chamber of commerce has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It has provided invaluable networking opportunities, allowing me to connect with like-minded business professionals and collaborate on various initiatives. The chamber’s resources, and events have significantly enhanced my understanding of local economic trends and best practices. Moreover, membership has increased my visibility within the community and fostered essential relationships, ultimately contributing to the growth and success of my business.  Thank you to Jeff and Amanda for the support!"

  • Hannah Beth Hembree, Development Director at The Salem Pantry:
    When I first started working in Salem, I didn’t know anyone. I was nervous to attend my first Chamber event alone, but as soon as I walked in, Jeff welcomed me and introduced me to people right away. The Salem Chamber doesn’t just support and advocate for local businesses; it creates a genuine sense of community. They get to know you , not just your organization, and make sure everyone feels included and valued. Because of the Chamber, I’ve built meaningful relationships with neighbors and fellow business leaders. I’m genuinely grateful for the community they’ve helped me find.

  • Alyse Grimm, Owner of Things to do in Salem:
    The Salem Chamber of Commerce has been an incredible source of community and support for my business. Their advocacy for local entrepreneurs and commitment to fostering connections has helped me grow both professionally and personally. Being part of the Chamber means being part of a network that cares about the success and vitality of Salem’s business community.

  • Tim Keeley, Co-Owner of Cup O' Code: "Working with the Salem Chamber has been an incredible experience. We worked with A throughout the process, from learning about the chamber and selecting a membership tier to getting our first email blast created for all members. A has been beyond helpful and insanely responsive to emails and questions. This chamber is truly working for its members. As a small business, we've never felt small. Whether we have questions about the best point-of-contact for a local business or just creating fun social content at networking events, A is working every day for the small businesses in the community. Thank you, A, for all you do for us and for all the businesses who benefit from having you represent them at the Salem Chamber. You're super awesome and we appreciate all you do!"
