ANNUAL EVENTS: Sponsoring or attending an annual event opens your business to the community and opens up your opportunities by increasing your business relationships.

Annual Meeting: In January this event allows for sponsorship by our members and the availability of exhibiting at the event. We offer a variety of sponsorship levels to our member companies allowing them advertising space in the program, at the event and on our website and newsletter. We host a keynote speaker who provides an entertaining and informative speech about current topics.

Elements for Excellence Women’s Conference is held each year. We offer a variety of sponsorship levels to our member companies allowing them advertising space in the program, at the event and on our website and newsletter. The event provides for several speakers addressing topics pertinent to women working and balancing family.

Golf Open – Held in the summer, this tournament benefits the Chamber and our annual scholarship program. We award three $1,000 scholarships to area-deserving graduating seniors matriculating to a trade or undergraduate program in the communities that the Chamber represents: Middleboro, Lakeville, Carver, Rochester, Wareham, Raynham, Halifax, Plympton, and Bridgewater. Our golf open is held in July at a local Golf Course such as Poquoy Brook or LeBaron Hills. Like the other events, we offer a variety of sponsorship levels to our member companies allowing them advertising space in the program, at the event, and on our website and newsletter. Companies may sponsor a hole or challenge activity as well as donate gifts for our raffles.

Legislative Meetings – Each year we hold an event in the fall that addresses current legislative issues and concerns that may affect our businesses and community. State Representatives and Senators attend this on a panel with a keynote speaker addressing key issues affecting Massachusetts at that time.
