Event Code of Conduct: The Madison County Chamber of Commerce strives to serve the Madison County business and civic community in a manner that encompasses principles such as integrity, professionalism, accountability, confidentiality, respect, and honesty. We expect our members and vendors to also adhere to these standards in their interactions with each other, association members, stakeholders, and the broader community.

Vendor Restrictions:
