This week at the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce, we’re continuing to celebrate the people and programs that make our business community strong.
As we look ahead, excitement is building for one of our most anticipated events of the year, Wine, Women & Chocolate, happening March 4. This annual favorite brings our community together for an evening of shopping, sweet treats, and connection while celebrating women in business across Brunswick County.
We’re also proud to highlight this month’s Ambassador Spotlight, Richard Claiborne. His experience and commitment to thoughtful leadership reflect the values that help move our Chamber forward.
Thank you for staying connected with the Chamber as we continue building relationships and supporting local business.
