As a Howard County Chamber member, if your business has 10 or fewer full-time employees, you automatically receive a complimentary membership to the Maryland Chamber of Commerce through the Maryland Chamber Federation.

That means more advocacy, more resources, and more statewide connections — all included in your existing Chamber membership.

 

What is the Maryland Chamber Federation?

The Maryland Chamber Federation is a partnership between the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and participating local chambers (like us!), created to support small businesses across the state.

This program extends valuable benefits to the smallest businesses in our community, helping you compete, grow, and stay informed — without paying anything extra.

 

Federation Benefits Include:

✅ State-Level Advocacy
Get a voice in Annapolis! The Maryland Chamber represents you at the state capital, advocating for policies that help small businesses succeed.

✅ Legislative Updates & Resources
Stay in the know with regular alerts, policy updates, webinars, and compliance tips that are especially helpful for small business owners.

✅ Savings & Discounts
Enjoy special pricing on business services, event registrations, and educational programs through the Maryland Chamber.

✅ A Statewide Small Business Network
Join a growing group of 6,400+ small businesses united under the Federation — giving you broader reach and stronger influence across Maryland.

 

Eligibility

This benefit is available to Howard County Chamber members with 10 or fewer full-time employees. If your business qualifies, you are automatically enrolled — no need to apply or pay additional dues.
