MEMBERSHIP
Membership in the Chamber brings many advantages for member business. It may include networking opportunities, member benefits and discounts, business support and advice, and the chance to have your views represented at the local level through the Chamber’s on-going relationship with the Ho-Ho-Kus Town Mayor and Council.
Membership in the Chamber is significant and builds over time – the more you use the Chamber and its member benefits, the more you’ll get out of your membership. Your membership dues pays for itself through the member benefits available.
