Membership

Two categories, three woods

Individual and Corporate membership, with no joining fee. Corporate membership runs in three classes, and the chamber has written down why they are named after timber.

The reference to these different types of wood is not by coincidence, as these three popular types of woods are widely used due to its elasticity, durability, and shock resistance; all of them are important attributes that an organization needs to withstand any circumstances and remain relevant.
