New Businesses

One-on-one new business owner training.

Preferred Vendor List: All CMCC members automatically become part of CMCC preferred vendor list. CMCC consults this list first when seeking goods and services for the organization.  CMCC also makes this list available to public and private companies that are seeking specific goods and services.

CMCC E-Directory: CMCC  will maintain a website directory of all current members. This directory will be updated on a daily/weekly basis as new members come in.  Members who elect not to renew membership will be removed from the directory.  This directory will be accessible to anyone who visits the CMCC website.

CMCC Monthly Membership Spotlight: Each month, a select CMCC member company will be featured on the CMCC website, CMCC Facebook and Twitter pages, and CMCC email alerts. All member businesses who want to be featured will be invited to complete the application.

CMCC B2B Member-to-Member Discounts: All CMCC members will be advised of discounts and perks offered by other CMCC member companies. A PDF file of all member discounts will be distributed to members via e-mail at the end of each year.

Members Only Networking Opportunities: The various CMCC will periodically host free open meetings for all interested CMCC members. These meetings provide informal networking opportunities.

OPEN Networking Opportunities: CMCC will host programs that are open to the general public. These programs will always be free (or minimally charged) to CMCC members.  Non-members may be required to pay.  These are opportunities to exchange business cards, discuss products and services, and discuss possible partnerships and joint ventures.

Training and Technical Assistance: CMCC will survey members to determine training needs, and then secure the assistance of the appropriate professionals to provide the necessary training and technical assistance. As much as possible, this is done without additional costs or fees for members.  This training can be provided in the form of workshops, information sessions, one-on-ones, classes, conferences, and more.

Groundbreaking / Grand Opening / Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies: CMCC member companies who are launching or re-launching their businesses (or new products and services) may request these services from the CMCC. Services may include assistance in planning the program, preparation and distribution of a press release, posting through the CMCC E-MAIL ALERTS and on CMCC social media site(s), attendance and remarks by CMCC leadership, an actual cutting of the ribbon or breaking of ground, and limited assistance with refreshments.

Priority Seating at Chamber Signature Events: CMCC hosts signature events and receptions each year. CMCC members (upon receipt and payment of reservations on or before stipulated deadlines) and their guests (who are seated at the same table with them) will receive priority seating selections.

Priority Pricing at CMCC Signature Events: CMCC will offer tickets to CMCC members at a price less than the marketed price of the tickets. Guests of CMCC members may also be eligible for tickets at discounted prices.  CMCC  members must purchase tickets within prescribed time frames and deadlines to receive discounts associated with membership.

Matchmaking and Referrals: CMCC will identify opportunities for members can present their goods and services to buyers and purchasing agents for government agencies, private corporations, non-profit groups, and other small businesses.

When possible, members may set up display spaces that highlight their products, capabilities, and marketing materials.  CMCC administrative staff will assist members as much as possible.

Matchmaking and referrals on a small-group or individual scale are done on an ongoing basis.  CMCC distributes the directory and annual report to buyers on an ongoing basis and invites buyers to search the CMCC website directory for vendors.

Access to Member-Only Resources, Discounts, and Opportunities: CMCC occasionally has access to resources (tickets to events, access to conferences, discounts for goods or services, etc.) made available exclusively to the CMCC. As much as possible, these resources and savings will be passed down to and shared with CMCC members.

CMCC Paraphernalia and Incentives: CMCC members will periodically receive incentives (i.e. tee shirts, golf shirts, flash drives, ink pens, pencils, notepads, etc.) as expressions of appreciation.

CMCC Endorsements: The CMCC may provide letters of support, letters of recommendation, and letters of commendation for CMCC members upon request. CMCC reserves the right to decline requests that create a conflict of interest or that do not adequately reflect the standards, values, and mission of the CMCC.]
