As the year wraps up, it’s the perfect time for Chamber Members to do a quick reset and set themselves up for a strong start in 2026. Here are three simple, high-impact actions every Chamber member can take before the holidays hit full swing.
 
1. Update Your Chamber Member Profile & Stay Connected
A refreshed profile helps your business get found more easily especially as members and the public browse the directory heading into the new year. Take a moment to update:

• New services
• New photos or logos
• Current contact info
• Team changes
• Your new membership tier (if you’re upgrading or exploring options!)

Keeping your profile current ensures your business shows up the way you want it to.

Stay Connected! Mark the Chamber as a “safe sender” in your email. This ensures our messages don’t get lost in your junk or spam folder, so you never miss important updates or chances to connect with the local business community.
 
2. Refresh Your Benefits & Member Discounts
Chamber Member Benefits deals are fully updated online and now is a great time to review what you’re using and what you might be missing.
From marketing tools to payment processing savings, many members discover they can save hundreds each year just by activating the perks already included with membership.
Encourage your team to take advantage of these benefits too!
 
3. Review Your Goals, Taxes & HR Housekeeping
A little year-end planning goes a long way. This is the ideal time to:

• Check in on your 2025 goals
• Review any operational updates
• Make sure your HR and payroll items are tidy
• Look ahead at tax planning for the year ahead

And if you want expert guidance, join us January 22 for our Tax Summit 2026 where top local tax professionals will break down what businesses need to know heading into 2026.
 
Bonus: Save the Date for 2026 Events
Start the year with momentum. Save the date for networking, learning, and community-building opportunities that support your business from day one.
 
If you tick off even one of these items, you're already setting your business up for a stronger, smoother start to 2026. And your Chamber is here to support you every step of the way.
