Charter Health Plan
As the owner of a small business, you understand the need for your employees to have access to comprehensive health care. That's why The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce has formed a strategic alliance with Sarasota Memorial Health Care System to provide your business with this vital benefit. Not only is this benefit crucial to the recruitment of competent and skilled employees, but it can also play a major role in the retention of your valuable workforce.
This partnership allows Chamber members to receive a 10 percent discount on premium rates, making the insurance - already 30 percent more affordable than other programs - an extremely attractive option for Chamber businesses.
Chamber Events & Networking Opportunities
There's no better way to meet potential business clients and customers than through Chamber event networking. Members are notified of upcoming events and other networking opportunities through direct mail, this Web site and our electronic newsletter, ePoint!.
