Cost Saving Programs

Through the power of group pooling through the Chamber's program, you can expect expect your workers' compensation insurance through Accident Fund Insurance Company of America to have a competitive rate, up-front savings on premiums, a dividend return (that averages 5.8%), and more. 

Example: Chamber members receive 5% up-front savings on their premiums through the workers' compensation group program. That 5% savings alone often covers the entire cost of a business's Chamber membership dues!
