Winterville Chamber of Commerce

The Chamber helps to welcome new businesses and celebrate exciting milestones with existing ones (ie. anniversaries, re-openings) through Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies. Town Council members, the Town Mayor, local papers, and all Chamber Members are invited.

Board members of the Chamber will be there to assist with the event and to help provide a warm welcome.

This is free advertising for our members! We randomly draw a business or organization name each month to have their ad featured on our social media pages, in the newsletter, and on our website.

We direct some of our marketing funds to advertise the social media posts, allowing it to reach more of our community. Check out the current feature on the Chamber Champion tab of our website  or on our Facebook page.

Each year we award a $1000 scholarship to a deserving senior from our area high schools. This award is given at our Annual Awards Reception.

Each newsletter has a feature about the new businesses to join that month and events happening in the community and Chamber!

They are emailed at the start of every month.

The chamber provides numerous opportunities for you to network with others and make connections within our community.

Along with the more regular events like Membership Networking Meetings and Business After Hours, we also host a number of unique events throughout the year. Student/Business Mixers, Portraits & Pints, Speed Networking are just a few we’ve held!

The chamber provides opportunities for your business to showcase your value of our community through various sponsorships.

Not only do we have sponsorship add-ons to get in front of more of our members, but we also showcase the opportunities provided by local organizations and schools through our newsletter.

At these meetings we discuss Chamber happenings, welcome new members and give them an opportunity to introduce themselves.

Guest speakers come to present topics of interest to the business community and to educate them on ways to help their business grow.

Through nominations provided by the public and subsequent voting on finalists, we present 6 businesses and community members with awards. Our categories are Business of the Year, Citizen of the Year, Teacher of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Favorite Spot to Shop, Most Dedicated Public Servant, and Favorite New Business.
