What Eastern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce does

Eastern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce (EMACC), legally the Eastern Monmouth Area Chamber of Commerce, is a New Jersey non-profit membership organization founded in 1928 and headquartered at 97 Apple St Suite 8, Tinton Falls, NJ. EMACC serves more than 300 member businesses across 11 municipalities in Eastern Monmouth County — Eatontown, Fair Haven, Little Silver, Middletown, Monmouth Beach, Oceanport, Red Bank, Rumson, Sea Bright, Shrewsbury, and Tinton Falls. The chamber's core product is membership services that bundle networking, business directory visibility, member-to-member deals, job postings, educational programming, legislative advocacy, and event sponsorship opportunities. Operations are powered by the third-party ChamberMaster/GrowthZone membership management platform, which hosts the member portal (business.emacc.org), directory, event registration, and job board. No proprietary technology is disclosed.

EMACC generates revenue primarily through tiered annual membership dues billed on a 12-month subscription, with pricing scaling by employee count from $345 (1–3 employees) up to $995 (751+ employees), plus a $340 non-profit tier, a $95 student tier, and a special first-year veteran rate. Non-dues revenue is generated via event sponsorships across roughly 30 annual networking events (Business Networking Breakfasts, Business After Hours, Next Generation, Women in Business, Health & Wellness) and four signature events (Spinnaker Awards, Summer Soirée, Golf Outing, Holiday Party). Distribution is community-led — physical events, word-of-mouth referrals, and a multi-channel digital presence (website, monthly email newsletter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram) — supplemented by self-serve online membership application via the GrowthZone portal. Strategic affiliations with NJBIA and the NJ State Chamber of Commerce provide statewide advocacy reach, while an operational partnership with the SBDC at Brookdale Community College extends small-business support services.

Direct peers

• Long Branch Chamber of Commerce: Neighboring Monmouth County municipal chamber serving Long Branch and surrounding businesses. Directly competes with EMACC for members in the eastern Monmouth County corridor and operates with a similar SMB-focused membership and events model.
• Greater Monmouth Chamber of Commerce: Direct local competitor chamber serving overlapping municipalities within Monmouth County, NJ. Operates with a similar membership dues model and event-based value proposition, directly competing for the same pool of Monmouth County SMB members.
• Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce: Chamber serving Asbury Park, a municipality adjacent to EMACC's coverage area. Directly comparable membership-based local chamber competing for SMB members and event visibility in the same eastern Monmouth region.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Chamber of Commerce: National business association federation of which state and local chambers are typically members. Comparable as a chamber-of-commerce peer at the apex of the hierarchy, offering policy, advocacy, and networking at a national scale.
• New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA): New Jersey's largest statewide business advocacy organization and a current EMACC affiliation partner. Operates at a much larger scale with broader legislative advocacy, training, and member services—serving as both a partner and a potential substitute for higher-tier members seeking statewide reach.
• New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce: Statewide New Jersey chamber affiliated with EMACC that provides economic development, policy advocacy, and networking at the state level. Comparable as a peer tier (chamber/association) but operating at significantly larger geography and scale.

Regional players

• Point Pleasant Beach Chamber of Commerce: Regional New Jersey shore-area chamber in northern Ocean County with a comparable SMB-membership and event-driven model. Geographically distinct from EMACC but structurally similar as a small-to-mid-sized municipal chamber.
• Brick Township Chamber of Commerce: Regional New Jersey chamber operating in Ocean County, just south of Monmouth County. Comparable in operating model (membership dues, networking events, signature events) but serves a distinct geographic territory rather than directly competing with EMACC.
