pay a membership forward

COVID-19 has impacted our business community. As a result, the Temple Chamber of Commerce has established a PAY A MEMBERSHIP FORWARD campaign to help those businesses most impacted by the global public health crisis.
​
Chamber Membership is an effective business strategy. When consumers know that a small business is a member of the Chamber, they are 49% more likely to think favorably of it and 80% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.

why should this matter to you?

Your business is only as strong as our business climate. A donation to the PAY A MEMBERSHIP FORWARD program will enable us to continue to serve those hardest hit members to make sure they are here tomorrow.
"As a past Chair of the Board of the Chamber, I know first-hand the importance of a small business to be connected to the organization. It is an effective business strategy.

Brockway, Gersbach, Franklin & Niemeier, PC supports PAY A MEMBERSHIP FORWARD because we want to keep the greater Temple small business community strong and engaged in an organization that is built upon the foundation to preserve, protect, and promote a business-friendly environment."

​-Steve Niemeier, CPA
