The Millennium Partner program was introduced in 2000 and is an affinity program.
In 2007 there are twenty-three Millennium Partners. The Millennium Partner program
offers businesses an opportunity to make sponsorship decisions once for the entire
year and receive recognition throughout the year as Millennium Partner.
There are three levels of participation - Platinum, Gold and Silver. Partners
receive different levels of complimentary participation dependent on their level
of commitment. The benefits are guidelines and are tailored to help each company
receive the best promotional opportunities to assist them in meeting their marketing
goals.
By having the Millennium Partner program, the Chamber is financially able to
provide substantially more products, programs, services and benefits to the
membership. In addition, the base membership fee remains lower because of the
Millennium Partners' financial contribution to the Chamber.
