Everett Chamber Partnership Offering Health Benefits to Members

The Greater Everett Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Associated Industries of the Inland Northwest to provide members with affordable health, dental, and vision coverage. This initiative represents the Chamber's first healthcare solutions offering as a membership benefit, strategically timed for the fall open enrollment season. Wendy Poischbeg, the Chamber's President & CEO, noted that access to affordable healthcare is critical for small and mid-sized businesses. The program will facilitate entry into Association Health Plans, offering competitive rates and a streamlined enrollment process. Jim DeWalt, President & CEO of Associated Industries, highlighted the partnership's potential to deliver high-quality coverage to Chamber members, thereby enhancing the region's workforce.

The official launch is set for September 10, 2025, during a Member Meeting at APEX Everett. The event will feature presentations on enrollment processes and strategies for businesses. Tickets are priced at $35 for members and $45 for non-members.
