Affinity Programs
Through affinity programs the Chamber can boost Chamber revenue while promoting a member company's services to other members.  For example, the next time you need to ship something overnight, call Chamber member DHL and the Chamber will earn from your business shipping order. The Chamber participates in many affinity programs. For details, call (203) 787-6735.

Insurance
The Chamber offers small businesses access to competitively priced health and dental insurance, as well as a workers’ compensation plan and health care products.
