Membership dues for the Santee Chamber of Commerce are assessed on an annual basis and are due in full at the time of initial enrollment and annually thereafter on the member’s renewal date. Sponsorship commitments are also due in full at enrollment or renewal unless the sponsor elects and is approved to participate in a monthly installment plan, which consists of twelve (12) equal monthly payments representing the full annual sponsorship amount. Monthly installment plans must be initiated by the member and coordinated through the Santee Chamber of Commerce office. Failure to remit any installment payment when due may result in immediate suspension of sponsorship benefits, recognition, and participation, and does not relieve the member of the obligation to pay the remaining balance.

In lieu of a monetary payment towards a sponsorship commitment, a member may elect to apply their sponsorship commitment in the form of advertisement in the Santee Magazine or an in-kind trade to Chamber events, programs, and initiatives, subject to availability and approval. Sponsors may request to fulfill sponsorship commitments through approved in-kind trade donations in lieu of monetary payment by submitting the Santee Chamber of Commerce In-Kind Trade Donation Form; all such requests are subject to prior review and approval at the sole discretion of the Chamber and must reflect a fair market value equal to the agreed sponsorship amount. To request an in-kind trade, please email the Santee Chamber at info@santeechamber.com to request donation form.

All payments are non-refundable and memberships and sponsorships are non-prorated, regardless of participation level or termination date.

All advertising and editorial placement is subject to availability, editorial layout constraints, production requirements, and the sole discretion of the Santee Chamber of Commerce. While the Chamber makes every reasonable effort to prioritize placement for eligible members and sponsors, placement may vary from issue to issue and is not guaranteed based on prior participation, payment level, or historical placement.
