Greece Regional Chamber

What Greece Regional Chamber does

The Greece Regional Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit membership association established in 1984 to serve the business community of the Greece township and greater Rochester, NY region (Monroe County). It provides networking, marketing, advocacy, and community programming to a horizontal member base spanning for-profit businesses (sole proprietors to 100+ employee enterprises), 501(c)(3) nonprofits, government entities, educational institutions, and individuals.

The chamber's core "products" are programmatic rather than software: tiered annual membership, premium sponsorship packages (Bronze through Platinum), signature events (Annual Meeting & Luncheon, Charity Golf Tournament, Business Health & Home Expo, Taste of the Town, Community Awards Gala, Youth Hall of Fame), monthly networking breakfasts, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, the Business Voice podcast on WYSL radio, and an annual Community Guide & Business Directory. Its underlying technology is the third-party ChamberMaster/GrowthZone membership management platform, which powers the member portal, online directory, event registration, job postings, and member hot-deals — there is no proprietary technology product.

Revenue is generated through recurring annual membership dues (ranging from $80 associate to $950 standard C7 plus $1,250-$7,500 premium tiers), event ticket sales and sponsorships, program-book advertising, group health/dental/vision insurance and travel package commissions, and donations through the affiliated Greece Chamber Charitable Foundation (est. 2002). Go-to-market is event-driven and referral-driven: the Ambassadors Committee welcomes and visits members, the chamber's digital channels (website, email newsletter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, X/Twitter, YouTube) drive top-of-funnel awareness, and a multi-chamber networking partnership with neighboring Brighton, East Rochester, Gates Chili, Irondequoit, and Penfield chambers extends reach. The chamber is led by President and CEO John Adams and governed by a volunteer board of directors.
