JACKSON, TENN. — The Legacy Chamber of West Tennessee is expanding its member benefits through a new partnership with Bent Tree Golf Course, giving Chamber members an opportunity to join the Jackson golf club with the $100 initiation fee waived.
The partnership brings together two organizations that have already developed a relationship through the Legacy Chamber’s annual Celebrity Golf Classic. Bent Tree has served as the host location for the Chamber’s signature tournament, creating a natural foundation for a broader partnership that now provides a direct benefit to Chamber members.
For the Legacy Chamber, the opportunity is about creating membership value that extends beyond meetings, events and networking opportunities. Golf has long provided a setting where business relationships develop through conversation, shared experiences and time spent together, making Bent Tree a fitting addition to the Chamber’s growing member-benefit network.
A REAL BENEFIT FOR CHAMBER MEMBERS
Under the new partnership, Legacy Chamber of West Tennessee members will have the $100 Bent Tree Golf Course initiation fee waived when joining the club, subject to Bent Tree’s applicable membership requirements.
The Chamber is continuing to look for partnerships that give its members tangible value while creating more opportunities for businesses and professionals to connect. A benefit such as this gives members another reason to use their Chamber membership beyond the traditional networking environment and take advantage of relationships being developed across the organization.
WHERE BUSINESS AND RELATIONSHIPS MEET
The partnership also reflects the role that relationships play in economic development. Business does not always happen across a conference table. Some of the strongest introductions, referrals and partnerships develop in informal settings where people have an opportunity to get to know one another personally and professionally.
Bent Tree Golf Course provides that environment while remaining connected to the Legacy Chamber through one of West Tennessee’s most visible business and community events, the Follow Me Into Business Celebrity Golf Classic.
The tournament, now in its 15th year, brings together business leaders, entrepreneurs, corporate partners, community leaders, celebrity golfers and supporters in an event that raises awareness and support for Follow Me Into Business, the Chamber’s youth entrepreneurship and STEM initiative.
BUILDING MEMBERSHIP VALUE
The Legacy Chamber is taking a broader approach to membership by developing relationships that can benefit businesses in practical ways. The Bent Tree partnership adds another layer to that strategy by giving members access to a benefit with a clear monetary value while creating another place for members to build relationships.
“Our members should be able to see and feel the value of belonging to the Legacy Chamber,” said Deswick Bonds Jr., Incoming Executive Director of the Legacy Chamber of West Tennessee. “Partnerships like this give us an opportunity to connect our members with resources, relationships and experiences that extend beyond the Chamber itself.”
The new Bent Tree partnership is part of the Chamber’s continued effort to strengthen its membership network and create meaningful opportunities for businesses throughout West Tennessee.
