UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT
Coffee & Contacts ☕
Let's be honest: Next Tuesday, around 8 AM, you'll be on your computer with a cup of coffee by your side. ☕ Unless you have a meeting to attend, one could argue not joining our Virtual Coffee & Contacts is just lazy!

Don't be lazy. Come network with your fellow Chamber members. 😃

Coffee & Contacts is a chance to build your network by introducing yourself to other Chamber members and sharing your elevator pitch. 

Did someone say prize? Bring your favorite novelty coffee mug, because one lucky participant will walk away with a prize. We're still big fans of Daniel Gunn's mug with udders. Can you top it?
