When you invest in a Chamber membership, you save with exclusive discounts! These discounts are significant enough to reduce or even eliminate the cost of membership! 

Join the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative:

Since October 2024, businesses everywhere have felt the impact of rising and unpredictable energy prices. As a member of the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce, you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

Through the Chamber's partnership with CQI Associates,  members have exclusive access to the Energy Purchasing Cooperative Program designed to help your business manage costs and protect against market volatility.

Here’s how it works:
By joining together, Chamber members increase their collective purchasing power, securing competitive rates on electricity and natural gas that are typically lower than what individual businesses could negotiate on their own.

Take advantage of this valuable member benefit:

• Review your current energy bill and if you’re on the standard utility rate or paying more than the posted rate under your current contract, you could be saving.
  
• Contact CQI Associates for a free, no-obligation rate assessment to see how much you could save through the Chamber’s cooperative program.

​
This service is completely free for Chamber members! It’s just one more way we’re helping you reduce costs, improve your bottom line, and focus on growing your business.

​"My involvement in the Chamber has been incredibly beneficial in increasing awareness of Other Voices Theatre! At every Chamber function I meet someone that doesn't know about the theater and I am able to gain another audience member or sometimes a sponsor for a production. My Chamber membership is well worth all of the new faces that we continue to welcome to our shows.”- Susan Thornton, Artistic Director
