Real connections happen best within authentic relationships where members connect with one another. Our Chamber Circles are small groups of Chamber members who share common interest in their business and professional development. The Circles meet monthly to build business relationships and trust among fellow members who know about their business and want to help each other succeed.
Chamber Circles are designed to take members out of rows and into circles where they can provide meaningful conversations while discussing business content.
