Tri-County Regional Chamber is a not-for-profit (501c6) membership organization where members pay annual dues, and we like to tell our members to view it as an advertising or marketing expense where you get quantifiable results! When you look at the huge amount of advertising/promotional and other benefits you receive for your dues, you’ll see it’s one of the most cost-effective and strategic business decisions you can make. Dues are based on the number of employees beginning at $310 a year for five or less employees – that’s less than $1 a day to market your business!

Our chamber has approximately 325 members with new members joining every day! We’d love to have your business join us!

Tri-County Regional Chamber, like other chambers of commerce throughout the state, are their own organization with its own board of directors who set forth the mission and vision for the organization based on the needs of the chamber’s service area.

We are proud of our fellow chambers of commerce and often seek out opportunities to collaborate and network with them when there is an opportunity. In fact, our chamber is part of MACCE (Massachusetts Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives) where we regularly share ideas and concerns with each other.

We focus on five primary goals: Building communities to which residents, visitors and investors are attracted; Promoting those communities; Striving to ensure future prosperity via a pro-business climate; Representing the unified voice of the employer community; and Reducing transactional friction through well-functioning networks.

All the State’s chambers have their own service territory (we cover 10 counties) and their own board of directors who set forth the mission and vision of their organization.

No. Tri-County Regional Chamber is not a member of the US Chamber. The MACC is a member of MACCE (Massachusetts Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives) and ACCE (American Chamber of Commerce Executives) where we regularly share ideas, concerns, benchmarking and professional development opportunities to benefit local chamber staff and membership.

The term “chamber of commerce” is one of the oldest and most well-recognized brands in the world, but there is significant public misunderstanding of its meaning. There is an adage in the chamber world: “If you’ve seen one chamber, you’ve seen one.”

The most difficult aspect for the general public, media, government officials and even some businesses to understand is that there is literally no inherent hierarchical structure in the chamber world. This can be extremely confusing to those who naturally assume that a few thousand entities sharing the same name must be related and that some ordered lineage must exist among them. That is simply not the case in the US. When business and economic policy priorities align, chambers of all sizes attempt to work together and speak with a unified voice. But in the end, the local chamber and its membership, guided by the board of directors will make decisions based on the needs of its community.

No. Tri-County Regional Chamber serves the Bellingham, Franklin, Holliston, Hopedale, Hopkinton, Medway, Mendon, Milford, Millis, and Upton communities. If your business is in these communities – or currently does business in them or would like to do business in these markets – you should definitely join the chamber!

Absolutely not! The great thing about your membership is benefits start immediately and continue working for you 24/7 whether you attend any events or programs!
