Deadline To Apply Is May 31, 2024

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.—The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce (MBACC) is partnering with TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank, to award complimentary chamber memberships to five minority-owned businesses.

In a continuing effort to engage and support minority businesses, TD Bank is sponsoring the cost of one year’s membership dues for five Myrtle Beach area businesses that are at least 51 percent owned by a minority. The selected business owners and their employees will have full access to all benefits of chamber membership, including a listing in the business directory, online job postings, discounts through money-saving programs, and access to networking events and education classes.

“We’re thrilled to partner with TD Bank to offer these membership opportunities and provide the selected businesses with the advantages of being a Myrtle Beach Area Chamber member, including networking and educational events,” said Karen Riordan, MBACC President and CEO.

To qualify, the business must be 51 percent or more owned by a minority, marginalized or underrepresented demographic such as: Black or African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian-Pacific, Subcontinent Asian, woman, veteran or disabled person. In addition, the business must be located in Horry or Georgetown counties, legally operating for at least one month and cannot be a current investor with the chamber.

Businesses that meet the parameters will be entered into a drawing and selected at random. The deadline to enter is May 31, 2024, and the selected businesses will be notified no later than June 15.

The entry form and more information can be found online at MyrtleBeachAreaChamber.com/membership-contest.
