PARTNERSHIP / SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES GUIDE
GREATER GREEN BAY CHAMBER
Introduction
The Greater Green Bay Chamber started as a central place for businesses to connect, learn about opportunities, find solutions and have a “collective impact” greater than any one of them could achieve on their own. Now, 142 years later, we continue to strengthen member businesses through economic and workforce development, believing that building strong business equals building a stronger community.
According to a recent study by prominent market-research firm, Schapiro Group, consumers are 57% more likely to think positively about a company’s reputation and 63% more likely to buy goods and services from that company if they belong to the local Chamber.
As you examine your marketing budget and consider your business goals, we invite you to consider investing in opportunities through the Greater Green Bay Chamber. With more than 1,000 member businesses and over 80,000 member employees, we provide many opportunities throughout the year to boost your visibility and showcase your business on a larger scale to a wide community audience of people from all backgrounds.
Whether through event sponsorship, advertising opportunities, strategic investment, or program support, our Chamber team stands ready to help you maximize your marketing efforts by offering ways for you to build onto your membership.

PIVOT POINTS, THE STORIES OF BUSINESS SUCCESS
“Pivot” means to make a fundamental, often abrupt, and rapid change in direction. In business, you may need to pivot when you realize that what you’ve been doing isn’t meeting the needs of your customers or the market. Whether the goal of this pivot is to help your company improve revenue or just survive, the way you pivot your business can make all the difference. Join us for this moth-style storytelling event and hear the pivot stories from local business leaders. Each speaker will take 10 minutes to share the details of the moments that defined their professional journey and how they persevered as their world was being disrupted.
