Will membership improve my bottom line?
Remember, membership starts with "me", and how you use your membership will impact your results. Many active members enjoy a great return on investment by using the promotional opportunities, networking and education events.
​
I'm short on time. Should I still join?
Absolutely! Your membership is more than events and face-to-face opportunities. By joining the Chamber, you are gaining an instant network of support and resources. You are automatically united with local businesses in advocacy, gaining access to promotional opportunities, representing your industry, collaborating on initiatives at your leisure and demonstrating you support a strong business community to your clients and customers.

And, remember that everyone who works at your organization becomes a member when you join. This means anyone can use Chamber services, attend events and participate in savings programs. This is a great employee benefit to offer everyone at your company!

Is the Chamber a government or political organization?
Our Chamber is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that is independently operated and funded. We are not part of the city or county government. We believe in connecting members to local, state, and federal elected officials and providing information. We typically do not endorse political candidates.  

How do you decide what initiatives to support?
Advocacy and governmental affairs initiatives are set and driven by members to improve economic development and quality of life in Frederick County. We have a public policy committee and a major employers group that bring issues and suggestions.

Have a different question? We love to talk about the Chamber, so call us at 301.662.4164, email us at [email protected].

What is the yearly membership investment?

Yearly Membership Investment

“I’m new to the Frederick area and working in a new industry as well. I wanted to find a local organization I could attach myself to and network with other businesses in the area. I attended two Business Card Exchanges as a guest and fell in love with the organization from the start. I met some great local business owners and entrepreneurs that I began to click with immediately.  The Chamber of Commerce and its Business Card Exchange events allowed me to have direct exposure with decision makers and thus helped lead me to closing my first three opportunities in Frederick. As a new member I can already say that my membership with the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce is totally worth it!” - Alexander Eliopolo, Solutions Analyst - Nauticon Office Solutions
