“One size fits all” has never been a term that applies to business. Your business is unique and so are its needs. We encourage you to select the level of membership based on the opportunities and benefits outlined below.
Características y beneficios de la membresía
INVERTIR
Investors are leaders in supporting current and future initiatives that serve our entire business community. Investing members recognize the importance of investing in Greater Mankato Growth programs and services, not only for the direct benefits they receive, but for the positive impact made on the entire marketplace.
Investor businesses are typically mid-size and larger businesses with more than 25 employees.
COMPROMETIDO
The Engaged membership level is our most popular level that connects your business to thousands of professionals in the Greater Mankato business community. Representatives from your business may serve on any of the Greater Mankato Growth, Inc. boards, join Ambassadors or Cavaliers, or participate in talent development programs. Engaged members also have the opportunity to sponsor GMG events, programs, and initiatives.
Engaged members are typically small businesses (10 – 20 employees), who are looking to grow.
BÁSICO
The Basic membership grants access to a variety of advertising opportunities, participation in events and programs, and comes with a business directory listing. This membership level is for those looking for more visibility, but with less time for events and involvement. Basic member business representatives will stay in the know through a subscription to Greater Mankato Growth’s weekly eNews.
This level is ideal for micro and small businesses, typically under 10 employees, which are just getting started.
