Elizabethtown-White Lake Chamber Application 2025

Instructions

Application Instructions:

Check ONE BOX below for your 2025 Partnership* or 2025 Basic Membership.

*Partner packages

A Partner Package is an annual upgraded membership which allows your business to take advantage of a variety of extra opportunities within the Chamber throughout the year to promote your business through increased visibility with the aid of other Chamber Partners ; a Basic Membership is required in order to upgrade. By selecting a Partner Package below, the yearly Basic Membership Fee will be added to your cart and you will be charged the Partner rate for this year. **Additional memberships for other businesses you own can be added manually at 1/2 price on the next page under the "Additional Items" section.

There is also a section to contribute to the Tourism Promotion Fund in that same "Additional Items" section. Tourism boosts our local community and reduces the tax burden of local residents by bringing in outside revenue. We will be using the Tourism Promotion Fund to help increase tourism and thereby boost business revenues and tax revenues that would otherwise be funded by county and city taxes on local businesses and residents. To find out more about Tourism impacts for NC and our community, please visit https://elizabethtownwhitelake.com/tourismpromotion (Folks who contribute to the fund can be on the Tourism Promotion Committee. While the minimum contribution is $120, the equivalent of 10 contributions of $120 would allow for effective promotion throughout the year.)

If you had a 2024 Membership, please slowly type your "Business Name" at the bottom of this page and your business name will auto-populate (and speed up the form completion time on the 2nd page by auto-populating information in those fields as well). Please double check and correct any missing or outdated information so that your website listing will be up to date.
