Member Mixers

What: Successful growth is based on personal connection. That’s why our member mixers are designed to help micro business owners, or their representatives, build those connections with each other and larger companies in need of their services. By creating a fun, engaging environment conducive to creating connections, we find a way to grow as people and professionals.

Why: Connection is the key to growth, happiness, and the world. Connecting with other professionals is how we function and succeed. Our mixers give you the ability to meet decision-makers and get potential referrals, which both directly impact your bottom line.

What: Our monthly, hour-long Lunch & Learn gatherings bring members together to develop and grow in a fun, connected environment. Members will hear from a Chamber sponsor (10 minutes) and then receive top-notch educational instruction from a collegiate level training program (50 minutes)
