Forums & Committees

Share Ideas, Build Relationships, Find New Business Opportunities, and Participate in Needs & Leads Structured Networking

By participating in a forum or committee - a members only benefit - you can expand your business opportunities by meeting new people, widening your network and raising your visibility. Our forums comprise hundreds of business people each participating in order to connect with their fellow members. You will also discover ways to give back to the community. While simply attending meetings offers many rewards, volunteering to serve on an event subcommittee multiplies the returns.

Our committee and forum meetings also include an optional half-hour Needs & Leads Structured Networking segment immediately after each meeting. Leads & Needs was introduced in our Women in Business Forum to raise members’ brand awareness and help one another find new business opportunities.

Here’s how it works…
Each participant has 30 seconds to share the following information:

Your Name, Title and Company
"I would like an introduction to..."
- A specific person - “I would like to meet Jane Smith, if someone knows her, I’d appreciate an introduction.”
- A company - “I would like to meet someone at BASF.”
- A person in a specific industry sector - “I would like to meet someone in Financial Services.”
OR – Share a specific need such as “I am looking for an admin to make my life easier” or “I need some marketing advice.”

Forum members play an integral role in driving the Chamber's programming by contributing their business acumen. Many of the initiatives developed at these meetings (such as Needs & Leads) become signature events and programs for the entire Chamber allowing us to better reflect and serve our business community.
