Real connections happen best within authentic relationships where members connect with one another. Our Chamber Connect Groups are small groups of Chamber members who share common interest in their business and professional development. The groups meet monthly to build business relationships and trust among fellow members who know about their business and want to help each other succeed.
Chamber Connect Groups are member-led and plan their own events.
