In comparing dues invesment levels, it's important to keep in mind there are many variables involved such as a community's cost of living, local economy, the value (cost of producing and delivering) of each chamber's products & member-investor benefits/services, etc. 

Also, many chambers increase their dues incrementally at 3%-5% each year, while others try to "hold the line" for several years, then are faced with a major increase. (Editorial Comment: From a business management perspective, the former makes more sense, unless the quality of what the chamber offers doesn't keep up with the needs of its business constituents.)

The letter following each chamber's name indicates the relative size of the chamber in terms of number of members as follows:

     (A) - Less than 200 Members
     (B) - 200-299 Members
     (C) - 300-399 Members
     (D) - 400-499 Members
     (E) - 500-599 Members
     (F) - 600-699 Members
     (G) - More than 700 Members
