Councils are sub-groups of partners of the chamber, formed within the chamber, that focus on a particular niche or business area. When
these niche groups grow in the number of partners, the chamber creates a council (by directive of the Board of Directors). As the council
shrinks in partners, as they do from time to time, the board disbands the council. Partnership in some of the councils is included with
chamber partnership. Other councils have additional annual dues.

o Referral Group Additional Annual Investment: $40
Referral groups are tight-knit sub-groups within the chamber that meet frequently (usually twice a month) to share qualified
business referrals with other partners in their group. Because of their strict loyalty to their fellow group partners, only one
partner of each business type is permitted to be in each referral group. Referral group size is limited to 50 partners per group.
NOTE: Because of the unique nature and exclusivity of business type in each referral group, the referral group annual
investment of $40 is the only chamber investment that may be refunded for the first year. To receive a full refund, the partner
must attend one meeting of each of the chamber referral groups and be rejected partnership therein due to a business type
conflict (referral group already has a competing partner of the same business type). The referral group leader’s signature/date
serves as proof of attendance and rejection.
