Fenton & Linden Regional Chamber Of Commerce

What Fenton & Linden Regional Chamber Of Commerce does

The Fenton & Linden Regional Chamber of Commerce is a membership-based nonprofit regional Chamber of Commerce founded in 1920 and headquartered at 104 S. Adelaide St in Fenton, Michigan. It serves as the principal voice of the business community across Genesee, Livingston, and Oakland Counties, offering tiered annual memberships (Business at $436, Business Plus at $643, Premier at $840, and Investor at $1,111), with a custom application path for non-profits and charities. Core member services include a searchable member directory, member-to-member deals and corporate discounts, a job board, a hot deals marketplace, and a recurring events platform anchored by signature events such as Taste in Fenton, Community Expo, Jinglefest, Jingle Jog, the Golf Scramble, and Business Summits.

Underlying operations run on the GrowthZone (ChamberMaster) membership management platform, which powers the public website, member portal, online member applications, event registration, job postings, and member-to-member marketplace. The Chamber monetizes across three streams: recurring membership dues (subscription), event ticket sales and registration fees (transactional), and tiered corporate sponsorship packages — Elite, Premier, and Supporting Chamber Champion Sponsors — with event-specific presenting, beverage, entertainment, napkin, and prize sponsorships layered on top. Distribution is hybrid: direct membership sales via phone and online application, event-based engagement at member-hosted venues, and self-serve digital access via the GrowthZone portal.

The organization is governed by a board of directors and is independently operated (no parent company, PE backing, or institutional investment). It maintains an affiliated nonprofit subsidiary, the Fenton & Linden Regional Chamber Foundation, which runs scholarship programs funded in part by the monthly $9 Scholarship Lunch Program at member restaurants. Strategic partnerships include S.C.O.R.E. (business counseling), the Flint & Genesee Small Business Support Hub (weekly office hours), and an ecosystem of corporate sponsors led by Elite-tier McLaren Fenton and Premier-tier ChoiceOne Bank, Dort Financial Credit Union, Abraham Law, Financial Strategies Group, Randy Wise Auto Team, and Servpro of Northwest Genesee County. No financials, headcount, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
