Our newsletter reaches over 4.3k hyper-local subscribers with an average 35% open rate (well above industry standards), and it’s filled with people who care about connection, collaboration, and strengthening the greater Columbia region.
We’re opening a new opportunity for COR members to share the work they’re doing in a way that feels natural and mission-aligned — not salesy.
This is your space to highlight your business, event, or project through a short story that fits the tone of the COR community.
Who This Is For
This opportunity is open to the general public. The COR Spotlight Email is available exclusively to active COR members, while the Member Story Feature and Community Corner Banner are open to both members and non-members. Need to join or renew? Click HERE.
Your feature must align with COR values and contribute positively to the community. We reserve the right to decline submissions that don’t fit our mission or tone. If you’d like to connect with someone on our team before submitting or paying for a request, please email [email protected].
