How strong is your network?

During the November Chamber of Commerce meeting we were reminded that one of the important functions of the chamber is to provide the opportunity to network with other business people in the community. It is a truth that is too often forgotten.

There is no substitute for the face to face contact and sharing of ideas that networking affords. It allows for business people to get to know each other, and each other’s businesses and to learn from each other. In today’s business environment, it is vital to keep in touch with what other businesses are trying and finding to be successful.

The message made an impact. Following the speakers there was a spirited segment of conversation. Several people updated things going on with them, there were questions and conversation. It was what a chamber meeting is all about!
