NEW REFERRAL GROUP NOW FORMING - Only 5 seats left.

The Connections Group is intended to be a referral and relationship building program with a diverse representation of Souhegan Valley businesses.  The group will be meeting each Tuesday afternoon from 5:00-6:00 PM beginning on April 7th.  We invite you to attend our first two meetings without charge to get a better idea of how this group can help you.  Our meetings will be held at the Souhegan Valley Chamber offices at 69 Route 101A in Amherst. 

 

This will be a rotating, 4 month (16 week) membership group intended to be a short term commitment to introduce you to new networking connections.  As with our current Tuesday morning referral group, we will be limiting the group to one representative per industry (landscaping, fitness, etc.).  Since seats are limited we will be assigning membership on a "first come, first serve" basis.   Multiple requests from members in the same industry will have their names entered into a drawing for the seat.

 

The cost for the group is $50.00 per 16 week semester.  Please let us know ASAP (673-4360 or tracy@souhegan.net) if you wish to participate or not so we can get our numbers and agendas set before our first meeting. 

Thank You To Our Sustaining Partners
