It's time for a change! The last Business Connection was held on March 3. Beginning on April 7, a new quarterly event, A.M. Exchange will take its place.

What's different?

  • New time: The start time has been changed to 8 a.m. We thought 7:30 a.m. may have been a little too early for some of you!
  • New location: You may love the Chamber office but there are many great member locations! Each quarter, the event will be held at the sponsor location.
  • New registration: Registration will be required since there will be a maximum attendance (30 attendees for this event). The first five people who register (and attend) will receive a pass to attend Business After Hours. When you register online, it will indicate the other individuals that have registered.
  • Join us for this fun exchange of information! Hear more about Woods & Water Realty and meet other business professionals.
