Being a member of the Columbus Chamber was the BEST business decision I made for both of my businesses. It’s been part of my business plan from the beginning. The Chamber is the pulse of the business community and being a member keeps me connected, promotes my business beyond the county lines and is a large part of my company’s success story.

I have been a long time member of what was the Whiteville Chamber of Commerce and is now the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and Tourism. I highly recommend everyone who is able to join the Chamber and volunteer your time to support their cause. By supporting their efforts you are in fact helping yourself and your business. The Chamber promotes our entire community through events, advertising, social media, the web, and on and on. Join us in our quest to keep our community viable and growing.
