Membership is the foundation of 1Berkshire’s work to strengthen the regional economy, support local businesses, and promote the Berkshires as a vibrant place to live, work, visit, and invest. Simply put, your membership helps make this work possible.

For some members, 1Berkshire serves as a connector—bringing together businesses, entrepreneurs, organizations, and opportunities. For others, we are a resource for business growth, providing access to consultations, educational programs, workforce initiatives, and technical assistance. We are also a marketing partner, helping showcase the people, places, and businesses that make the Berkshires unique. 

Whether through economic development efforts, leadership programs, business advocacy, or destination marketing, our goal is to create a stronger and more prosperous Berkshire County for all.

We are deeply grateful for the support of our members who choose to invest in 1Berkshire each year. Your continued investment allows us to champion local businesses, attract visitors and talent, support economic growth, and create opportunities throughout Berkshire County.
