Not only does this provide members with making business relationships but also the chance to show off their location through our successful Business After 5 and newly introduced Network B4 Nine events. These events are only open to Chamber members to host, and are open to both current and future members to attend. 

Currently our Business After 5 events are booked until the end of 2018, and our Network B4 Nine events are booking into mid 2017. If you are interested in hosting, we encourage you to attend a few events to get a feel and then contact us to be added to the waiting list. The next Business After 5 is at Davis GMC Buick on Tuesday May 17th. 

Upcoming events can be found online on our event calendar , and members will receive emailed invitations to Chamber events. For convenience, if you are unable to attend an event, simply clicking "I am unable to attend" at the bottom of these invitations opts you out of follow-up invitations.
