Platinum Partner Membership Guidelines
The Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce exists to support and promote opportunities for regional
business to work together, thrive and contribute to the local community. Becoming a Platinum
Partner means building a long-term relationship with the Greater Dandenong Chamber and its
members. As the Chamber will provide continued support and promotion of your business and we ask
for your returned support and promotion of the Chamber.
We have several key events throughout the year where our Platinum Partners are recognised, such as
our Awards Events and the Awards Presentation Evening in December, where there is an
expectation that your business will be in attendance.
One of the major advantages of becoming a Platinum Partner is the hosting of a networking night.
These events are averaging between 90-120* registrations. The core guest group is
comprised of local Chamber business members and representation from businesses who have interests
in the area. There is also an expectation and opportunity for the Platinum member to invite their
own guests, key accounts and customers.
Chamber Expectations of a Platinum Partner:
• The networking event will be scheduled in conjunction with availability, based on dates set by
the Chamber. It is the Platinum Partners responsibility provide a suitable venue. If
the Platinum Partner does not have access to a suitable venue then the Chamber will assist with
sourcing one, another (non-compete) Chamber member’s venue will be first preference.
• It is the Platinum Partner’s responsibility to cover food and beverage costs and any associated
venue costs.
• It is expected that the Platinum Partner will assist with the event promotion through inviting
guests, publishing on social media and any other forms of advertisement readily available. The
Chamber will provide event promotion, invite guests from the Chamber database, social media
promotion and coordinate RSVP’s and associated administration.
• The Platinum Partner should provide a door prize to the perceived value of $100 or more for their
networking event. The Chamber will provide the Platinum Partner with a business card listing of
those who have willingly entered the draw.

Chamber events and be active members.
