The Chamber is “In Business for Business”

Businesses benefit from a Chamber affiliation in many ways, both tangible and intangible. The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce continually assesses and responds to investor needs with relevant, value-added programs and initiatives.

These are designed to strengthen businesses in the greater Lafayette region and position those businesses for continued growth.

• Adequate, affordable health coverage is among the most challenging issues facing businesses. The Chamber’s Limited Benefit Medical Insurance program provides a solution that enables members to offer the same benefits of a large group to employees, regardless of company size.

• The Member2Member program provides members with discounts on a wide range of goods and services. Exclusive to the Chamber, these offers enable members to showcase their own products, as well as save money when purchasing products from fellow members.

• Sharing timely information among members and the community at large is essential in nurturing the business environment. The Chamber utilizes several communication channels for this purpose, including Chamber News, a printed publication; an electronic newsletter delivered via email; and the Web site www.lafchamber.org.

• Chamber-sponsored ribbon cuttings bring attention and a bit of fanfare to a business celebrating its opening, a new location or other milestones.

• Networking opportunities are plentiful through the Chamber. Several events bring members together for the personal interaction that’s crucial to doing business.

• Several committees and task forces work to help the Chamber achieve strategic goals, set annually. Far-reaching initiatives address issues such as infrastructure, technology, transportation, regional partnerships, and similar concerns that affect our business and living environment.

The philosophy of being in business for business is at the core of everything the Chamber undertakes. As business needs change, the Chamber’s efforts evolve to provide benefits that give members a rewarding return on their investment.
