​

Referrals: Benefit from member referrals and improve the referrals you offer your clients by getting to know the unique products and services available nearby. Attend mixers to let others know who you are and what you offer, and meet other local industry professionals and business owners. Business is about relationships so come build connections and community.

​

Mixers: Members may host a mixer at their place of business or co-host with another member if your own space isn't available. Hosts provide the refreshments. We send 3 or more email announcements about the mixers beforehand, where we promote the host/s, which keeps their businesses top of mind even for folks who don't attend in person. Hosts and co-hosts get extra time to talk about their products and services at the gathering. We also send a follow up email with photos from the event for additional exposure.
