Country Bank announced that it has partnered with the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce to offer a scholarship program for small businesses.

Shelley Regin, SVP of Marketing and Public Relations at Country Bank, recently met with the President of the Chamber, Tim Murray, to discuss the bank’s commitment to the Chamber and small businesses throughout the region. As a result of this meeting, a new small business membership scholarship program was established.

"Throughout the pandemic, many small businesses have had to find ways to reduce expenses; some of those reductions included canceling their Chamber membership. To align with our ongoing mission to help small businesses thrive, the establishment of this scholarship program will help struggling businesses remain a Chamber member, as well as provide others an opportunity to become new members.

As a long-time member of the Chamber, our staff has had the opportunity to benefit from the valuable programs and events that the Chamber offers; we feel this membership offers a vital connection to growing and supporting businesses within the city.” said Regin.

Scholarship funds will cover membership dues for one full year, provide members-only access to critical resources, programming, and the opportunity to attend various activities through the Chamber.
