Windsor, March 31, 2025 – The Windsor Essex Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Olde Riverside Business Improvement Association. These two organizations represent thousands of local businesses and are working together with the goal of providing even more savings and benefits to their respective members through the Chamber’s innovative Savings Access Program.
“The Savings Access Program provides businesses with so many unique opportunities to save through the Chamber’s many affinity partners” said Chamber CEO Ryan Donally. “BIAs are truly at the heart of this program with many BIA member businesses just unable to justify the expense of full membership”
“Joining the Windsor Essex Chamber of Commerce as a BIA will strengthen our network, provide our members with access to valuable resources, and allow us to further collaborate with local businesses to drive growth and innovation.” says Laura Tucker, chair of the Olde Riverside Business Improvement Association. “Together, we can create a thriving business community and foster opportunities for mutual success.” added Tucker.
Under this new partnership, any Olde Riverside BIA member, even if they are not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, can take advantage of Chamber Affinity programs. This includes access to deals on home, auto, and business insurance, human resources materials, and discounts on office supplies among other things.
Additionally, the first ten Olde Riverside BIA members with 5 employees or fewer that become Chamber members at the Business Builder tier will receive $50 off the cost of their membership for the first year.
This exciting partnership is set to commence April 1st, 2025.
