To make partnerships equitable and accessible to all, partnership rates are based on a business’ gross income. Partners also have the option to add on an additional marketing package to drive even more customers to your business. THE DEADLINE FOR INCLUSION IN OUR 2024 PRINT DIRECTORY IS MARCH 8, 2024. However, you may join as a partner year-round and enjoy all other benefits.
