 Networking
 
 Expo is great place to network for jobs 
 

 

The Business Expo-doubling as an opportunity for participants to seek out employment possibilities- will feature a variety of exhibitors showcasing their products and services. "We're providing something for everyone," said Kim McCullers, owner of Mitchell's Temporary Services, which will also be on hand at the event. "Our overall goal is to contribute to the Chamber's mission and what better way to do that than to host a well-executed event and invite the public?" While attendees visit booths, participating business representatives will network to get to know each other, their business offerings, and share successful strategies. "We will do that all day long," said McCullers.  That's the fun part."
