Chamber/Organization
Membership
Membership Benefits as being a part of COFACC come in two different forms:
- Partner Chamber Benefits — These are benefits that the Chamber as an organizational entity enjoys. Whether it be access to valuable knowledge resources & best practices, trainings & seminars, to B2B programming or reciprocity agreements between other Partner Chambers, there is a full set of available benefits to support your chamber’s growth and success.
- Individual Chamber Members Benefits — These are benefits that Partner Chambers of COFACC can extend to their own members. If you are a Partner Chamber, this is a great way to supplement your own current set of benefits by taking full advantage of the leverage COFACC earns with its exclusive vendor partners.
