Sponsorship Program

For over 50 years, the Southfield Area Chamber of Commerce has been dedicated to making a positive impact on the economic well being of the businesses and in the lives of individuals in the Southfield Area. Helping Southfield retain its excellent quality of life and high profile in the global economy is one of the goals of the Southfield Area Chamber of Commerce.

If you have on a regular basis sponsored events, advertised, and provided in-kind support, we hope you will continue this support. If you have on occasion given your support, we would like to encourage you to look at the opportunities available for 2012. Still, if you have never considered participating through sponsorship, we would like to encourage you to do so. It's a great way to gain visibility and help the Southfield Area Chamber of Commerce achieve its goal of improving the economic development of our community.
