Gainesboro-Jackson County Chamber of Commerce

There are many groups that positively impact the Town of Gainesboro & Jackson County. One such organization is our local Chamber of Commerce. You may not know that our Chamber is one of two in the state that is not underwritten by its local governments.

Whether that is as it should may be a subject for future discussion. What IS needing discussion at this time is the Chamber's need for increased participation. We are building momentum for growth and development around the Town Square and in other areas of Jackson County.

People cry out for "more jobs," but the real need is for more entrepreneurs and small businesses as well as larger corporate concerns. An increased Chamber of Commerce membership will provide much needed assistance in promoting and encouraging business ownership, start-ups, and "move-ins."

Consider becoming a member of the Chamber. Individuals (whether in business or not), small businesses already operating, and representatives of the larger corporate marketplace can join for just a few dollars. Cindy & I have recently filled out and mailed in our applications.

The annual membership fees are based on a calendar year and are very inexpensive:

Jackson County business (1-10) Employees - $50.00

(Please add .50 for each additional employee over 10)

Associate Member (individual) with residence within Jackson County - $25.00

Associate Member (individual) with residence outside Jackson County - $30.00

Senior Associate Member (individual, over 55) - $20.00
