401k Chamber MEAP Program
For most small businesses, a 401k plan can appear too cumbersome to manage and too expensive to implement. This means most small business owners cannot adequately save for their retirement. Further, attracting and retaining employees becomes even more difficult since employees know the value of a 401k plan and saving for retirement. Now, chamber members can set up their own 401k plan using the purchasing power and cost savings of the Madeira Chamber. Click here to learn more about this amazing program.

WAYS TO CONNECT

Making connections with other business owners is key to the success of many of our members. Our Chamber meets monthly on the second Wednesday of every month at Noon at the Madeira City Building, 7141 Miami Avenue in downtown Madeira. A complimentary lunch is provided. This is a great opportunity to connect with other members in attendance and hear from our City Leaders, School Leaders and speakers of interest, including local State Representatives.

Our bi-monthly happy hours are a great way to connect after hours at one of our great local restaurants. These are held in March, May, July and September.

We also coordinate with other local Chambers throughout the year on multi-Chamber networking events designed to give our members the opportunity to connect with members of Chambers from the surrounding communities.

WAYS TO GROW

Everything we do at the Chamber is designed to help your business grow and see a solid ROI from your investment.

Member to Member Discounts
As a chamber member, you’re eligible to receive exclusive member-to-member discounts including savings on printing at InPrint Madeira. To submit your own discount contact David Peterson at 814-598-6235 or [email protected] to discuss in more detail.

Marketing Co-op Program
We understand business-to-business networking is the most impactful marketing for many of our members, but for those looking to increase their exposure to the residents of Madeira and surrounding communities, we invite you to join our marketing co-op program. Each year, we develop a program designed to help your business reach your target customers in a variety of ways including digital & traditional marketing plus special events throughout the year.

WAYS TO ADVOCATE

One of our most important roles is advocating for our business community at the City level and communicating your issues and needs to our City leaders. We recognize the importance the business community plays in the health of our community and many of you don’t have a voice in local elections. Throughout the year we conduct member surveys to understand the issues facing your business. This feedback is critical to making sure your voice is heard as we provide information to City Administration and Council as a whole as well as sub-committees including Economic Development. Now, more than ever, we have a strong voice with the City and your membership helps us communicate in numbers!
