Member Benefits

The Chamber is an essential resource for every type and size of business! To take full advantage of the benefits we provide our members, spend a few minutes educating yourself on these exclusive offerings.

Free listing on Chamber web site
Your business gains an automatic listing in our searchable database, a directory which is utilized by both Chamber members and the general public. Your listing will include your company's contact information as well as a valuable link to your Web site.

Free listing in printed Membership Directory
We update this helpful, printed resource once a year and then distribute it to our members and others who use it to help find the products and services they need. Additional advertising in the directory is also available for a fee.

Free business referrals
The Chamber's Information Center fields thousands of requests each year from people searching for local products and services. We refer our callers and visitors only to our member businesses. Your company could receive dozens of referrals each month!

Free inclusion in our member-to-member discount program
Use this program to offer a discount and publicize your services to other Chamber members. Your online coupon includes a hotlink to your Web site and also can be viewed by non-members in the online membership database. 
Check out the Members Only section for discounts!

Free promotion of company news
Let the world know when you have a great story to tell!  Whether your company has won an award or introduced a new product or service, we want to celebrate with you by promoting your news and the growth of your business in the "Member Good News" section.

Promotion of yourself and your company at all attended events
Take advantage of the multiple convenient opportunities we offer each month for you to establish your reputation and promote your company to Wichita's business community. Step it up a notch and sponsor an event, receiving even more publicity and often times a chance to showcase your company through promotional materials and/or a booth.

Exposure: Encounter Wichita Metro Business
The Chamber's annual business-to-business Expo offers local companies the chance to showcase themselves through booth displays and face-to-face interaction. The event attracts hundreds of exhibiting businesses and thousands of attendees throughout the day. Chamber members receive a significant discount on exhibitor booth prices.

Leads and Lists
The Chamber offers a deep discount for Chamber members on mailing labels pre-printed with the addresses of our member businesses.

Business Images of Metro Wichita
Put your company's best foot forward, and in front of businesses and individuals who request information about business in Wichita. The Chamber receives more than 1,000 requests a year for this attractive piece, so if you are targeting newcomers to Wichita, Images provides an excellent way to advertise and stretch your marketing dollars.

Small Business Awards Program
The Chamber annually recognizes local small businesses that have exhibited exceptional growth, financial strength, employee relations, community service and company history. From hundreds of nominees, a panel of judges chooses top finalists to be showcased at multiple Chamber events throughout the year before the program culminates with the naming of two Small Businesses of the Year.

Honors Night
Every spring, the Chamber celebrates its business members who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in community service, innovation and aesthetic contributions to Wichita. Being the recipient of one of these prestigious awards guarantees valuable community-wide exposure to your company.

Free subscription to E-Synergy
With E-Synergy, the Chamber's e-newsletter, it's easy to stay on top of business news in Wichita with weekly electronic updates on economic development, legislative issues, community initiatives and business programming and events.

NationJob
The Chamber is pleased to offer our members a quick and easy way to find qualified employees. Due to our partnership with NationJob, the No. 1 provider of community-based Internet recruitment solutions, Chamber members have access to this powerful tool for recruiting skilled workers, both locally and nationwide.

Spouse Career Network
Employees, new to Wichita, can take advantage of Spouse Career Network, a free program that connects spouse's resumes with local employment opportunities.

The recruited spouse's employer must be a member of Spouse Career Network to participate. Please call the Chamber to submit your (or your spouse's) resume or, if you are an employer, to find more information on joining Spouse Career Network.
