Membership

WHY MEMBERSHIP MATTERS

Someone has to speak up for Maine businesses. That’s where we come in. The Maine State Chamber of Commerce is here, because you have a business to run, product to produce, service to provide, people to employ, and a community to support. You cannot do all those things and make sure the legislature in Augusta is acting in your best interests. We’re here to influence the outcomes in the legislature, as well provide you with information, programs, and events that are a real return on investment of your membership dues. We are taking care of business in Augusta, so that you can take care of yours.

From workers’ compensation, to workplace issues, health care, energy, tax policy, education, workforce development and environmental policy, our team of advocates is the largest in the statehouse. With a combined experience totaling nearly, we are without question “The Voice of Maine Business” in the halls of Augusta.
