September isn’t just for backpacks and books—it’s the perfect time to go Back to Local!  Let’s celebrate the season with a fresh focus on the incredible businesses that make our communities unique.

We’re inviting businesses across the region to participate in Back to Local, a month-long community-wide campaign designed to drive customers through your doors and spotlight everything that makes our community shine. 

Here’s how it works:

• You offer something special during September—whether it’s a discount, freebie, BOGO, special menu item, class, service bundle, or exclusive event—it’s your choice!

• We promote all participating businesses through our website, social media, emails, press outreach, and community partners.

• You’ll be provided with logos and signage to share the news.

• We’ll create a map of all participating businesses and organizations and will get the community excited to shop, dine, explore, and engage—right here at home. 

• Prize incentives will be offered for participating community members.
   

Cost to participate:

No Charge for Chamber Members (USE PROMO CODE EACC MEMBER) 
$50 for Nonmembers

Sign up by August 29th to be included in the promotion!
