• Attend the NPCC "Get to Know Us Meeting" which is held each month on the second Tuesday at 4:00 PM. You will be provided will valuable tools and information so you will know how to log into your site, and learn your way around. RSVP on our calendar of events.
• Identify what you hope to gain from your membership. Whether you’re looking to build relationships with peers and potential customers, develop professionally through educational workshops, raise your profile as a community leader, or utilize discounts that drive dollars to your bottom-line, the Chamber is the place for you and your employees to get connected.
• Include your staff in your membership. Your membership includes your entire staff, and the more they are involved, the more your membership will blossom. Visit our events page for a complete list of Chamber events and programs.
• Connect with fellow members. Make meaningful connections with your business peers and prospects through member events and business celebrations. Extend your networking opportunities by joining the Chamber’s online communities on Facebook, Twitter and other sites.
• Use online membership directory and do business with Chamber members.
  The online directory contains a list of chamber members with main contact information. These companies share your interest in making our community thrive and we encourage you to take a look at their businesses when making purchasing decisions.
• Read Chamber communications. Stay informed on Chamber and community news by visiting our website and reading newsletters and emails. 
• Use the Chamber as a marketing tool! Whether you’re seeking to build your identity, generate leads, or spotlight your corporate responsibility initiatives, allow the Chamber to help carry your message to the entire city. From website and newsletter ads to enhanced directory business listings, ribbon cuttings, and event postings, we have lots of ways to help you promote your story and build business credibility as a Chamber member.
• Provide us with feedback. To better improve the benefits and services we provide, we rely on your feedback to guide our efforts. If there is something you are looking for in your membership that is not being provided please let us know. Share feedback on your membership experience by dropping us a line.
•  Update your own information – By saving office staff's time, as business profiles can be updated by members on their schedule. With many businesses adding an Internet presence and social media profiles, it’s more efficient to allow members to update their listings than it is for administration to make multiple changes (to each profile) over the year. Plus the changes can be seen in real time. Since each member is responsible for updating the profile, admins no longer have to gather information and hold it until it becomes worth their time to update multiple profiles at once. This includes updating phone numbers, addresses, emails, and other pertinent information.
