Facilitated Networking Groups 

Participants in the chamber’s facilitated networking groups meet once or twice a month (at various times/locations) to exchange referrals, discuss business best practices and/or build relationships. Open exclusively to chamber members, the groups are led by fellow members and fall into two categories: Small Networking Groups and Affinity Groups.
