There’s a lot happening this week, and plenty of opportunities to get out, connect, and be part of what’s going on in our Chamber community.
We’ll kick things off on Tuesday with our Ambassadors Meeting in the morning and Women in Business in the afternoon, two great ways to build relationships, share ideas, and spend time with others who are invested in supporting local businesses.
Then on Thursday, join us for PERKS and start your day with good conversation, new connections, and a chance to grow your network in a relaxed, welcoming setting. We’re looking forward to hearing from our presenting business, Betty Moyer with Dream Finders Homes.
Each of these gatherings offers something a little different, but they all come back to the same thing, building real connections that help our business community grow stronger together.
We hope to see you out this week.
