Real connections happen best within authentic relationships where members connect with one another. Chamber Circles are designed to take members out of rows and into circles. The circles provide meaningful conversations while discussing business content. There is no cost to attend a Chamber Circle.
Chamber Circles are small groups that share common interests in their business and professional lifecycle. Some Chamber Circles are paused because they are in need of a host. Please reach out to chamber staff if you are interested in hosting an existing Chamber Circle.
