Courtesy Level Investor Program
The Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to introduce a new, free way for
small businesses to connect and grow!

Guiding Principle:
“Where every business has a voice — because every job, every storefront, every entrepreneur contributes to the fabric of our local economy. We are not just a membership organization. We are a catalyst for regional growth, inclusion, and prosperity. The Courtesy Level Investor reflects our belief that engagement should be accessible and that connection—not capacity to pay—should be the first step in building a stronger community.”
The Purpose:
The Courtesy Level Investor tier is a strategic initiative by the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce designed to ensure that small businesses — especially those with 5 or fewer employees — have a seat at the table. It offers an entry point into the Chamber at no cost, helping small businesses engage with our region's business community.




On-ramp for future investment by engaging small or previously disconnected businesses.
Reflect the Chamber's evolving mission: a thriving business ecosystem for all.
Prioritizes cultivating community relationships.
Recognizes that influence is measured by employee impact, not just entity count.
