Why should you join the Chamber?

  • Business Training & Support

    Your membership will now include access to the Cordova Business Empowerment Summit! This event aims to facilitate a gathering of Cordova business leaders and provide them with education and guidance to uplevel their organization on multiple fronts. Including vital resources to our business community, the two-day event in November will be followed by a second session in April. We also offer access to skill-building, facilitated collaboration sessions to connect you with other businesses, and networking events to help you grow and scale with less pain and more control.

  • Healthcare Coverage

    Cordova Chamber Members and their employees are now eligible for SALA healthcare coverage. This progressive alternative to healthcare insurance is a popular and low-cost option for employers to offer competitive benefits to employees and and good option for entrepreneurs to get coverage for themselves.
