The Chamber has allowed me to reach out into the community and develop new relationships with people from all walks of life. I find myself really enjoying meeting with other business owners and discussing things that perhaps will help my own business.

Shared Interest Groups
What is a Shared Interest Group?
Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are comprised of Chamber members with similar interests who meet to discuss trends, challenges, ideas and thoughts.
Why should I join?
SIGs give members the opportunity to learn, network and develop long-term, meaningful relationships in a casual setting that promotes conversation and camaraderie. SIGs also give members the opportunity to “set the agenda” on key topics and items that are important to them and their business.
Where, when and who?
SIGs will be formed without regard to geographical boundaries and will be guided by “conversation starters.” These groups will meet regularly; most are open to all Chamber members.
