These mixers offer members a chance to meet and network with other members in a casual, informal atmosphere. Individual member businesses may sponsor this event at their place of business or other designated locations any weekday from 5:30 -7 PM.  

Power Networking

Members are seated at tables of ten and given 10 minutes to network with those at their tables. When time is up, everyone moves to other tables filled with more members and networking opportunities. Businesses may also sponsor this event.
