The Chamber is pleased to offer a new program to its members beginning January 2010... Connect For Lunch is a unique opportunity to get to know new business counterparts and engage leads by spending time with other professionals at the dinner table.

As you know, the strongest referrals you get are from someone who knows you personally. When another businessperson has time to get to know you, he or she will have the confidence to start referring you to the important people in his or her life – close friends, neighbors, a brother-in-law, the person they play tennis with. 

A business card and a 30-second elevator speech are not likely to get you that kind of personal relationship – or those referrals. You need to give others more time to get to know you. That’s why the Chamber is bringing you Connect For Lunch.

Each week, Connect For Lunch will enable you to spend an hour or more at lunch with three different Chamber members. During lunch, you’ll have the time to make personal connections with these members, build trust, swap referrals, and learn about each other’s businesses.

During the course of a year, you'll be able to make personal connections with over 100 different Chamber members!
