West Shore Chamber of Commerce

Did You Know? Some of Our Most Frequently Asked Questions…


Have you ever had a question about the Chamber that you haven’t asked a staff member? We’re happy to answer your questions but we thought we would compile some of our most frequently asked questions for you!  

1. Does my business have to be located on the West Shore to become a member? 

No! Your business does not need to be located on the West Shore in order to be a member. We have members from across the central Pennsylvania region. For more information contact our Member Services Director, Tiffany Mahan, at Tiffany@wschamber.org

2. Can my employees take advantage of our Chamber membership benefits too? 

Yes! As an added value, Chamber membership is based on your full-time employee count so your employees are considered Chamber members and can take full advantage of our programs and services. Sign them up today to start receiving our West Shore Weekly Wire Emails and Connections Newsletter! 

3. How can I get more involved in the Chamber? 

The Chamber offers several opportunities to build connections. Attend one of our upcoming Member Benefits Sessions with our Membership Director or visit our committee’s page for more information if you are interested in joining one. We also often need volunteers for special events and networking mixers so please contact the Chamber office if you are interested in helping. 

4. How do I advertise or market my business with the Chamber? 

The Chamber offers a variety of ways to promote your business, from including an ad in our Connections Newsletter to Sponsoring a Networking Mixer. Our Sponsorship & Marketing Guide goes over all the details. If you have further questions, contact Krystin Blauch, our Communications & Events Director, or the Chamber office for information regarding marketing and event sponsorships. 

5. Can non-members participate in Chamber events? 

Yes, most Chamber events throughout the year are open to the community and non-members. Take a look at our Community Calendar to see the upcoming events in our area that are open to non-members. We do limit the number to 2 events that a prospective member would be able to attend before we would contact you about membership with the Chamber. If you have someone you think would be interested in learning more about the Chamber please feel free to invite them to our next event as your guest! 

For more answers to questions you may have, take a look at our FAQ’s page on our website or email one of the staff members a question today. We’re here to help!
