Chamber Networking Events

The Chamber offers many monthly events so chamber members and their guests can connect with each other on a regular basis.  We encourage members to bring business cards to pass out and to collect.  It's a great way to meet your competition and your peers.  It's an opportunity for facilities folks to find facilities folks and H.R. directors to find other H.R. directors.  We request that members RSVP for all events so that a badge with your name, busienss title and company name will be ready for you when you arrive.

We like to think that our networking events are better than a leads groups because these programs are open to ALL Chamber members with NO restrictions.  Whether you are selling, prospecting or networking, you and your business will prosper from your participation at Chamber events.

Business After Hours (BAH) is a bi-monthly program hosted by our members at their own location.  It gives the member an opportunity to showcase what they do and to "show off" their location.  Tours are often offerred.  Our Business After Hours runs from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. with food and beverages provided by the host Chamber member.  A brief program is held at approximately 6:15 p.m. to introduce and recognize new Chamber members, Board members, Chamber Ambassadors, elected officials and key city staff.  The host has an opportunity as well to introduce their staff and products or services.  A raffle follows the program.  This program is free to chamber members and members-to-be.

Business Before Hours (BBH) is a monthly networking event from 8:00 until 9:30 in the morning and is geared for the members who would like to make some connections before starting their formal work day.  Coffee and other breakfast items are served.  A Business Before Hours operates very similarly to the Business After Hours with a program at appproximately 9:00 a.m.  This program is free to chamber members and members-to-be.

Friday Coffee Break at the Chamber is held on a quarterly basis in the Chamber office from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.  Our current schedule is for February, May, August and November.  It is an opportunity for all members, new members and seasoned members, to find out what is happening at the Chamber with respect to new programs and existing programs.  We can talk about projects in the region and in our communities.  Members, and prospective members as well, stop by and participate in informal introductions and discussions of various topics.  This program is free to chamber members as well as members-to-be.
