2018 SPONSOR PACKAGES NOW AVAILABLE!

The Barry County Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to the economic prosperity of the county through connectivity, promotion and business community support.

This is our mission. In the summer of 2017, our Chamber Board of Directors and staff embarked on a comprehensive strategic planning initiative, which included a survey of our entire membership. We received a great response rate to that survey, and learned even more about the role of the Barry County Chamber of Commerce in the community, the value that our members receive from their membership and involvement in our programming, and the future positive impact we want to have on the Barry County area.

Event sponsorships are the backbone of the slew of community events and initiatives that your Barry County Chamber of Commerce executes each year. We can’t do it without the support of our members, and we routinely hear from our sponsors that they appreciate the exposure that their business or organization receives as a sponsor, and that they value the programming for the community.

It can be dizzying sometimes when we at the Chamber take a step back and really look at the wide range of programming that we pull off each year. From significant community festivals such as the Barry County BrewFest and Hastings Gus Macker to leadership development initiatives like the Barry County ATHENA Leadership program and the ROTH award. From hands-on education for our members like Tech Talks and our quarterly Business Team Collaboratives to recognition events such as our annual awards dinner and the Chamber Open golf outing. These events – and the many others mentioned in this package – have both immediate and long-term benefits to our local businesses and communities. We are honored to be tasked with executing a great calendar each year, and are thrilled to ask for your partnership in doing so.

Please take a look at the next few pages of events and the sponsor packages available. Signing up for a package will not only save you money, but will also be much more convenient – one ask, one commitment – instead of multiple solicitations throughout the year. Our aim is that it is easier for you to budget, easier to participate, and also a bigger “bang for your buck” and return on investment for you and your business or organization.

Of course, there are also many options for ‘a la carte’ sponsorships as well. We’re also game for putting together a custom package to suit your needs, if you like components of certain packages and want to blend them…we’re all ears!

On behalf of the Barry County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Staff and volunteers: thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you!
