1. Contact Form — replace the SMS checkbox disclosure
On the contact form, replace the current service-business wording about things such as inspections, estimates, and treatment reminders.
Use:
I agree to receive text messages from the Greater Ocean Township Chamber of Commerce. By submitting this form, you consent to receive text messages related to membership inquiries, event registrations, meeting reminders, membership updates, and follow-up communications. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop receiving messages or HELP for assistance. View our Privacy Policy: https://gotcc.org/privacy-policy/
Important: The checkbox should be unchecked by default.

2. Privacy Policy — replace the SMS section
Your Privacy Policy already has much of the required SMS information. I would mainly make the consent method and message categories match the form exactly.
Replace the existing SMS/SMS Consent language with:
SMS Communications
The Greater Ocean Township Chamber of Commerce may use SMS messaging to communicate with individuals regarding membership inquiries, event registrations, meeting reminders, membership updates, and follow-up communications.
Users consent to receive SMS messages by submitting their phone number through the Greater Ocean Township Chamber of Commerce contact form and selecting an unchecked SMS consent checkbox before submitting the form.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
Users may reply STOP at any time to stop receiving SMS messages. Users may reply HELP for assistance.
Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchase.
SMS consent and mobile phone numbers are not shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
Keep the rest of the Privacy Policy.
3. Terms & Conditions — replace the SMS section
This is another change I would make before submission. Don’t say that simply providing a mobile number constitutes SMS consent. Tie consent specifically to the checkbox.
Use:
