I am a Visionary

Annual Investment: $10,000+ | Total Value: $17,000

Members build their business by focusing on their performance and the economic prosperity of the entire region.

"Among the many reasons PPD established its headquarters in Wilmington, the region’s attractive quality of life and good business climate stand out. Building on Wilmington’s reputation as a desirable place to live and work helps increase the availability of a highly skilled local workforce. The Chamber, through its Cape Fear Future initiative, is leading the way. This focus on community building is meaningful for all who live and work in the region — and an important reason why PPD continues to be a strong supporter."

I am a Founder

Annual Investment: $400-$499 | Total Value: $1,900

Members are focused on basic exposure for their business (companies under 25 employees).

“My wife and business partner, Ann, and I decided a little over ten years ago to join the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce because of the networking opportunities it offered. We felt we could meet a lot of people and, with time, earn their friendship and trust; thereby building our promotional products business. We also felt that everyone should support their local Chamber.

The Chamber offered us volunteer opportunities, BizMix socials, monthly/quarterly mixers, ribbon cuttings and quarterly table top shows in which to exhibit. We elected to participate in just about everything and, boy, did it pay off!

We realized that just joining would not get us the most benefit. We had to get involved. So we did. Within two years after joining the Chamber, our sales tripled. We attribute much of that sales increase to our involvement and participation in the Chamber and highly recommend the benefits of joining to any new or existing business.”
