Networking and New Business Contacts:
The Chamber offers members the chance to network directly with scores of others who have the potential to become new customers, suppliers, or clients, and indirectly provides an even larger pool of networking opportunities through those contacts. Among over 580 businesses and organizations comprising the Chamber, there is sure to be a contact that’s important for your business. Attend a Business After Hours, a Ribbon Cutting, or an Open House, and see for yourself the power of “putting a name to a face”!
