 The Corporate Sponsorship Program is designed to attract and retain business in the MetroWest Region and offers sponsor businesses a higher level of visibility than traditional membership.   “The program is designed to augment the services provided to our members and will offer complementary marketing opportunities for affiliate businesses,” stated Fran Colantonio, President of the Chamber Board of Directors.

 In addition to the Premier Sponsorship, businesses can choose from 3 supplemental levels of sponsorship: Platinum, Gold and Community Builder. The Platinum and Gold levels are customized to fit the needs of businesses with a large employee base while the Community Builder sponsorship provides a mechanism for smaller businesses to receive the additional benefits of a corporate sponsorship.  “The investment our corporate sponsors make will provide them with a highly visible partnership role that has added value to their own marketing programs.” added Donna Kelleher, incoming Chair of the Board for Metro West Chamber.
