A room whereeveryone is sendingyou clients.

Business Referral Groups are the Chamber's most structured form of networking: one seat per industry, meetings every other week, and members whose job in the room is to refer business to one another.

How a group works

Four groups are active now, with more forming.

1

You meet every other week

Groups of 15 to 40 professionals, in person or online, learning each other's businesses well enough to refer them with confidence.

2

Your category is protected

One person per industry or profession in each group, so there's no competition in the room and referrals flow freely.

3

Any Chamber member can join

Seats open as categories become available. If your category is taken in one group, another may have it open.

4

You visit first, free

Attend a meeting as a complimentary guest before you commit. The groups below each list who to contact.
