Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if I own more than one business in Lehigh Acres? Do I have to pay separate Membership Dues for each company? Multiple businesses under the same ownership may pay annual membership dues as a single entity. Simply add up the total number of employees and sales associates for all companies to calculate the correct annual dues. Each business will receive individual listings in Chamber publications such as our Annual Directory and our Online Business Directory.2. What is a sales associate, and how are they different from an employee? A sales associate is a person affiliated with an organization who is paid a commission rather than a wage or salary. The most common example of this is a real estate agent affiliated with a local broker. Technically these agents are not employed by the broker, but they are affiliated with the broker’s organization and therefore receive all of the benefits of chamber membership, such as attending our networking events and training events.
3. If I am not affiliated with a business or organization, why would I want to join the Chamber of Commerce? Many individual citizens enjoy meeting other members of the community and contributing to Lehigh Acres in a positive way. The Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce is a great way to get involved and to meet new friends.
