2. Onboarding Fee for First-Time Applicants

New members applying for Chamber membership will be assessed a one-time onboarding fee of $25. This fee covers administrative costs for processing membership information, updating the Chamber's website, notifying members of the new addition, and promoting the new member on social media.

3. Payment Terms and Late Fees

Invoice Due Date: Membership dues must be paid by the last day of the month of the member's anniversary.

Late Payment Penalties:

  • If payment is not received within 60 days after the invoice date, a 10% late fee will be assessed on the outstanding balance.
  • If payment is not received within 90 days after the invoice date, an additional 10% late fee will be applied to the outstanding balance.

Termination of Membership:
  • If payment has not been received within 120 days from the invoice date, membership will be terminated. Once terminated, any benefits and services associated with membership will be discontinued.

4. Reapplication After Termination

If a member's membership is terminated due to non-payment and they wish to reapply, the $25 onboarding fee will be reassessed. This fee is required to cover the administrative expenses of reprocessing the membership.

5. Responsibility for Payment

It is the responsibility of the member to ensure that payment is made by the due date. Failure to update contact information or notify the Chamber of payment issues does not excuse members from late fees or termination.
