Benefits Connection

One of the best parts of Chamber membership? Sometimes the benefits go well beyond networking.

Through our Chamber partnerships, members can access employee benefits resources through Benefits Connection, helping local businesses better understand their options for health, dental, vision and other employee benefits.

If you’re already a Chamber member, make sure you’re taking advantage of the resources available to your business.

We’re proud to work alongside our local Chamber partners to help support the businesses and teams that keep our communities moving.

Chamber partners: feel free to tag your members below who may want to learn more.

More choice can mean a better fit—for the business and the people who work there.

Through the Aetna Affinity program, Benefits Connection can help eligible employers explore a wide range of plan options, select designs that fit their organization, and give employees more flexibility to choose coverage that works for them.

It’s a smarter way to approach employee benefits: more options, more flexibility, and a strategy built around your team.

Want to see what could work for your business? Let’s talk benefits.

Two of our Benefits Connection partners are teaming up next week. 👏

The Georgetown Chamber and Greater Millsboro Chamber are bringing Sussex County Young Professionals together for a mixer and bonfire in Lewes on September 23.

Building a business is easier when you know the people and resources around you — and that’s a big part of why these Chamber partnerships matter.

If you’re a member of either Chamber, check out the event details and go make a few new connections.

Today, we remember the lives lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001.

We also remember the courage of the first responders, the strength of the families affected, and the way communities came together in the days that followed.

May we continue to honor their memory.

Never forgotten. 🇺🇸

Renewal season is coming fast. Don’t go into it on autopilot.
Benefits Connection helps Chamber members take a closer look at their options before simply renewing the same plan year after year.

Whether you’re a business with 1–5 employees, a growing team, or a larger employer, a review can help you better understand your current strategy, possible gaps, and what options may make sense for your size and goals.

The goal isn’t pressure — it’s clarity.

If your business is heading into renewal season, now is the right time to start the conversation.

What could your business do with an extra $8,000?

For Smile Bright in Newark, Delaware, that wasn’t just a hypothetical.

Their employee benefits plan returned more than $8,000 in surplus funds — money that came back to the business instead of simply becoming another healthcare expense.

And their story is especially relevant right now.

Renewal season is here. Employers are beginning to see what their health insurance costs could look like for the year ahead, which makes this an important time to ask:

Is simply renewing the same plan still the best strategy for your business?

Every company and benefits plan is different, and surplus funds are never guaranteed. But there may be options and strategies available that are worth exploring before you make your next renewal decision.

If your renewal is approaching, now is the time to take a fresh look.

Rising benefit costs have put pressure on a lot of business owners this year.

Before you simply renew and absorb another increase, it may be worth taking a fresh look at what options are available.

Through Benefits Connection, eligible businesses may be able to review Aetna Affinity Program options as part of a broader benefits strategy conversation.

This is not a one-size-fits-all solution or a guarantee of lower rates, but it can be a helpful starting point for employers who want to better understand their options before renewal decisions become urgent.
