What does membership do?
Businesses, organizations, and individuals are welcome to join the Waterford Chamber of Commerce! Membership is obtained by paying an annual fee based on your organization's classification. Becoming a member is a wise business move and can help further a firm's organization into our local market.
Organizations from surrounding communities are also encouraged to join, as it allows them to introduce their presence to a new, otherwise untapped, market.
