This week still offers opportunities to stay engaged and connected with the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce.
Please note that due to weather conditions, the Chamber Ambassadors Meeting and the Women in Business Committee Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 3 have been canceled.
On Thursday, February 5, we look forward to bringing members together for PERKS Networking from 8:00 to 9:00 AM at Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation in Supply.
PERKS is a great opportunity to build relationships, share what you do, and stay visible within the Brunsco business community.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the cancellations and hope you’ll be able to join us for PERKS and continue taking advantage of the connections and opportunities available through your Chamber membership.
