Celebrating the Members Who Make Bay County Thrive


What It’s All About

September is Membership Appreciation Month at the Bay County Chamber of Commerce—a month dedicated to celebrating the businesses, organizations and people who make Bay County thrive.

Our members create jobs, invest in our community, support local causes, develop our workforce, mentor future leaders and help shape the future of Bay County. Throughout September, we're putting the spotlight where it belongs: on you.

Membership Appreciation Month brings together recognition, networking, professional connections, special events and opportunities to engage with your Chamber. It's also a great time to explore the resources available through your membership and make sure you're taking full advantage of everything the Chamber has to offer.

Thank you for your investment, your involvement and your continued commitment to Building a Better Bay, together.
