(TRI-CITIES) August 1, 2024 — The Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau serving Mainland BC (BBB) have signed an agreement to help businesses save money. This is the first partnership of its kind between the BBB and a chamber of commerce or board of trade in the province.
Tri-Cities Chamber members will now save $99 on their first accreditation with the Better Business Bureau, an organization dedicated to building an ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers can trust each other.
In turn, BBB Accredited Businesses who have not yet joined the Tri-Cities Chamber can access $100 in savings on a first-year membership.
"The Better Business Bureau and the Tri-Cities Chamber have the shared goal of striving to make business better in our communities," said Leslie Courchesne, CEO, Tri-Cities Chamber. "The BBB is such a trusted organization for ensuring ethical business practices through its accreditation process. We are very proud to partner with the BBB to make it easier on the pocketbooks of Tri-Cities Chamber members to pursue BBB Accreditation, and for BBB Accredited Businesses to join our Chamber."
