Announcements: The Brighton Chamber of Commerce launched it's new newly re-designed website: BrightonChamber.org. The site design follows approximately 18 months of discussion & planning. Earlier this year the Chamber announced a new logo and position statement; both are featured on the new site.

The re-designed site posts a Chamber member's name & contact information near the top of the home page. A different Chamber member will be featured each time the page refreshes. There is no additional fee for this service. Members may now add relevant promotional information about their business into the online database so that visitors can easily find their products & services.

The Chamber has also expanded its member benefits. Click here to see the list of member benefits. If you would like to partner with the Brighton Chamber to promote your business, please let us know.

These changes reflect a new, more aggressive direction for the Brighton Chamber in 2012 that focuses on short term ways to help make your "cash register ring"; improve the general economic development in Brighton and promote more effective communication.

The website was re-designed by Chamber member, Nelson Lopatin, of USWebsites.com.
