Our Affinity Partners

Take advantage of St. Matthews Chamber affinity programs and special partnerships.  From time to time, our Chamber enters into partnerships with member businesses through which discounts and/or special offers are provided exclusively to members. In addition to the added benefits for our members, the Chamber receives some shared revenue through these agreements.  This revenue is used to fund St. Matthews Chamber programs for our members.  

It’s important to note that these “affinity programs” are never intended to be an endorsement of one business over another. In fact, they are available to any member businesses large and small as long as they meet criteria and are accepted by an affinity oversight committee.
