Monthly Networking Events
Monthly Networking Events are casual, member-hosted gatherings designed to connect local business owners and professionals in a relaxed setting. Held at rotating Chamber member locations, these events provide an opportunity to build relationships, share updates, and strengthen community ties throughout Washington County.
The Washington County Chamber of Commerce is excited to bring back monthly networking meetings! Eligible members are invited to host or co-host an event and showcase their business while connecting with fellow professionals, business owners, and entrepreneurs.
The Chamber will assist in coordinating scheduling, designing flyers for the event, promote the event through its communication channels, and invite members to attend. Hosts are responsible for providing an appropriate venue, catering, and any necessary setup.
