Membership Benefits

The Benicia Chamber of Commerce supports its members by providing services and opportunities that relate to advocacy, resources, and community. Many of our programs fulfill two or more of these goals, but are generally broken down by example below.

Advocacy

The Chamber Serves as a Collective Business Voice in the Community and as your Business Advocate:

  • Meets regularly with elected and public officials
  • Attends and monitors city council meetings
  • Conducts monthly advocacy meetings, including a Women in Business Advocacy Hour
  • Exclusive access to the Business Advocacy Committee
  • Serves as liaison between your business and the city government
  • Communicates with all county and area chambers to ensure spread of accurate information

To us at the Benicia Chamber, Advocacy refers to promoting the interests of the business community. This includes educating our members on relevant issues, providing access to gateways for self advocacy, and advocating on the behalf of our members.

Resources & Learning

  • Referral Program and Chamber backing
  • Access to California State Chamber events and news, including continued education opportunities for business owners and staff
  • Online Membership Directory

  • Additional advertising opportunities through events and the Chamber Office
  • Email Newsletter with member exclusive access to advertise business news, upcoming events, or important announcements

Resources is our broadest benefit, and likely the most tangible for new members, as all Chamber Resources are immediately available upon joining as a Chamber Member. Whether you are starting a new business, expanding your business, or simply looking to improve your business, the Benicia Chamber of Commerce provides a wide variety of resources for businesses of all sizes.”

Community

Chamber Membership is the best way to learn about Benicia from those who know it best.
