On National Remote Employee Appreciation Day (September 22, 2024) the Chamber announced a new Remote Worker membership for any locals who are working with companies not located in the Fox Cities region but still want the Chamber connection! This is an individual membership available only to remote workers whose companies are based outside of the Chamber footprint, which includes Outagamie County, Calumet County, and northern Winnebago County.
For an annual fee of $175, the Remote Worker membership level includes the following:
Upwork, a freelancing platform, estimates that by 2025 an estimated 32.6 million Americans will be working remotely, which equates to about 22% of the workforce.
Our goal at the Chamber is to continue to create a space that serves all employees and provides access. This new remote membership level fills a gap for those locals who work in the Fox Cities but don’t have a physical office space, offering networking, socializing, and connection opportunities for them. It also helps retain people living in our great community and creates a sense of belonging.
