The annual Chamber Auction is a triple win — benefiting donors, bidders, and the Chamber.
Businesses can:

  • Bid on advertising, marketing services, and local experiences at a fraction of retail price
  • Showcase their offerings and reach new customers
  • Support the Chamber’s mission

From billboards and radio ads to business cards and graphic design, this event is full of opportunity—and open to members and non-members alike.

Held annually in partnership with area colleges and technical schools, this event connects Chamber members with:

  • Students seeking internships
  • Graduates exploring full-time and part-time opportunities

It’s a chance to showcase your business to the next generation of the local workforce—and help them imagine a future in Crawford County.

Each month, a Chamber member hosts a casual evening of connection and community.

  • Free for members and prospective members
  • Hosts provide food, beverages, and a door prize
  • The Chamber promotes your event through multiple channels

These events are an easy, effective way to build relationships and highlight your business.

Join fellow professionals for informal after-hours discussions on timely topics.

  • Women in Business
  • Hot Topics in the Workplace

These conversations spark collaboration, share ideas, and strengthen our local business network.
