Do I have to pay my membership fees all at once?
No. We want to accommodate your financial needs so you can be billed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
Which membership is best for me?
There are benefits that speak to all stages of the business cycle. If you want to dip your toe in the water, then Business Partner is the level for you, but if you want to elevate your business name through The Partnership while also getting to market and network, you should select Business Partners Plus. If you want to help advance The Partnership’s mission and give back, you should join The Leadership Circle!
How do I get involved with the Chamber?
First, make sure you are receiving Partnership emails. Most of our communication comes via email.
Second, come to everything! Take advantage of all the marketing opportunities and network with other members.
Your Partnership membership always supports the mission of the organization, but taking advantage of all the tangible benefits can be beneficial for your business!

What does The Partnership stand for?
The Partnership aims to promote a healthy and vibrant Starkville and business community. All of our entities: Chamber, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Main Street Association, and Economic Development work together to support the betterment and sustainment of Starkville.
How do I know what member benefits to take advantage of?
Take advantage of it all! All of the networking, marketing, and continuing education opportunities are here and tailored toward local business needs. We created a member guide to help you along. We are always asking the membership for direction on programming ideas.
