De Pere at Dusk

De Pere's Way to Connect for Chamber Members. 
No matter how much online "social networking" you do, there is no replacement for meeting people face to face!

The halls will be decked with boughs of holly and we will be fa-la-la-la-la-ing at the Kress Inn on the picturesque St. Norbert College Campus for our Holiday De Pere at Dusk.

It has been a great and busy 2014 - before we get overwhelmed with year end and the holidays, let's get together and celebrate.

When: Tuesday, December 9th
Time: 5-7pm
Where: Kress Inn, 300 Grant Street, De Pere

De Pere at Dawn

An event for Chamber members (prospective members may attend to see what it is about), this is the most cost-effective marketing opportunity available for publicizing your business!  This "focused networking" event will give you the best benefit with your regular attendance! 

In addition to the great networking, we've added information and timely topical forums to the mix!

Topics and expert panelists will change each month.

December Topic:  Developing Your Team

Have a strong, cohesive team in the workplace is critical to developing and maintaining your business - but how?!  What makes strong teams? What damages them?  What happens when you need to rebuild and how do you?

When: Wednesday, December 10th
Time: 8-9am
Where: Rennes Health and Rehab Center, 200 S. 9th Street, De Pere
