The Chamber organizes free monthly networking receptions for members by pairing with host businesses. The host business pays a nominal fee to the Chamber and agrees to host the reception with food and drink in a proper venue. Attendance may range from 75 to 300. Business After Hours occurs monthly on the fourth Wednesday of the month, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Business After Hours is a great way to expose your business to new people! It is also a great opportunity to network with local professionals in a casual setting, expanding your audience and business relationships!
