VIP Partnership Program

VIP Partnership FAQs

The Greater Georgetown Chamber Board of Directors recently approved a proposal to help organizations that have partnered with the Chamber in the past and intend to do so again by sponsoring one or more of the Chamber's annual community events. The idea is to provide more effective exposure to organizations that wish to support the Greater Georgetown community to a greater degree. There are a variety of excellent marketing tools incorporated into the program including recognition within the promotional materials associated with a particular Chamber community event, recognition at Chamber meetings, within Chamber publications, and prominently and often within the Chamber website.

The primary reasons why the program was created include:

• 1. It provides a variety of avenues for sponsoring organizations to receive the maximum benefit from their additional investment.

• 2. It allows the Chamber to better plan for and design community events based on funding availability.

• 3. It prevents the Chamber from having to constantly nickel and dime organizations causing them more work.

• 4. It allows Chamber event planners to focus their limited energies on the event, not on seeking funding sources.

• 5. It is presented to organizations in a way that allows them to incorporate it into their annual marketing and budget processes.

Partner organizations may need to provide certain items, such as logo graphics, to receive the maximum benefit from the program. The Chamber welcomes feedback and suggestions on how to improve the program for VIP Partners. VIP Partners must remain members of The Greater Georgetown Chamber of Commerce during the term of their partnership. Components within a partnership level are nontransferable unless otherwise stipulated.
