COME SOAR WITH US!
Membership
The Greater Ocean City Maryland Chamber of Commerce has five membership tiers, and each is represented by a shorebird.
Why did we choose birds? Obvious answer: we live and work at the beach. More than that, though, the Ocean City area is home to many entrepreneurs – individuals who took a leap of faith and started a new venture with an uncertain outcome. In the same way, birds flock together, particularly if they need to go far, and our members, too, rely upon one another to achieve bigger goals. Sometimes, we can go faster alone, but often, we can accomplish the seemingly impossible when working as a team.
What are the benefits of membership?
We’ve got a ton of them! At every level. Even if you only use a few of them, you’ll still get a return on your investment. But it’s not just about the transactional benefits – we see ourselves as an integral part of your marketing and branding strategy. In today’s ever-changing landscape of reaching potential customers, we’re all playing in the same sandbox, but with the added advantage of the power of community behind us.
Browse our membership tiers below and make some notes about what looks good to you.
You can join online, schedule an appointment with our Membership Director, or give us a call to tailor your membership plan to your specific needs. Our goal is to help you achieve more success in less time.
