Lorain County Chamber of Commerce investors are part of an exclusive group that get to turn their membership into a profit. This profit comes in many forms. The most obvious is the bottom line money savings they get by taking advantage of our Value Added Benefits. These benefits include discounts with group health insurance, supplemental insurance products and workers’ compensation. The workers’ compensation is especially critical now, since the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation eliminated the 75% discount that was so prevalent in past years. We also offer our members savings for overnight shipping, payroll services, credit card processing and cellular phone service. Plus we have recently added discounted gym memberships for employees of a County Chamber member.

For more than 40 years, CCI has offered cost control solutions to Ohio employers. Through the group ratings, employers have saved over 230 million dollars in premiums.
