Join Us
Become a Business Partner
We are working to build a coordinated voice for small businesses in our community, bridging the gap that was left by the closing of the Raton Chamber of Commerce. Having been in operation for over 10 years, our primary work has been in providing training and suggestions to local businesses on such topics as social media marketing, human resources, accounting, and long-range planning to help build skills for successful enterprises. We exist on funding from grants as well as private and business sponsors such as yourself. Grant funding is typically for one to two years, therefore we constantly need to look for operational funds that allow us to provide our Community Coordinator and maintain our office to serve you.
