Membership
Membership in the East Fishkill Business Association.
Membership costs $150 a year for a business, $75 for an individual or a nonprofit, and is open to any business operating in East Fishkill or serving its residents. Dues are published here rather than quoted on a call.
Why join
What membership is actually for
The association exists to promote the success of its members, to work through the problems of running a business, to be heard when the town decides something, and to foster business in the community. Here is what each of those is worth to you specifically.
A listing customers find
Your business in a searchable public directory, organized by trade, with the contact details and hours you control from your own portal login.
Referrals from people who know you
The monthly meeting exists so that when someone asks a member for a plumber, an accountant, or a printer, a name comes to mind. That is the whole product.
A seat when the town decides
Zoning, signage, road work, permitting. The association tracks what is in front of the Town Board and tells members before it lands, not after.
A platform for your own events
Submit your grand opening, workshop, or sale to the community calendar. Host a Business After Hours and put fifty owners inside your business for an evening.
Member-to-member offers
Members extend standing discounts to one another. Publish yours on your listing and use everyone else's. Used regularly, it is the most direct way for a membership to pay for itself.
Standing with your neighbors
Membership is a visible signal that you are invested in the town you sell in — which matters most for the trades and services that are hired on a neighbor's recommendation.
