Networking Referral Group

Networking Referral Groups

Groups offer Chamber members a chance to build a "team" of advocates for their business by providing a long-term networking opportunity. Your membership in NRG gives you a chance to build your personal network of business relationships through your active participation.

This is about making new business contacts, identifying potential new customers, locating new or alternate supply sources, and an opportunity to meet fellow members in an informal, relaxed setting.

Each group consists of a representative from 20-30 non-competing businesses, making each of your fellow group members a potential business partner rather than a competitor. Each group elects a chairperson, co-chair and greeter, who run the meetings and make sure conflicts are avoided. A typical meeting will include brief presentations from group members on their business, or on referrals or business dealings with other members of the group.

The Chamber currently has 3 groups meeting on a bi-weekly basis:

• NRG1 (eNeRGy) meets every other Thursay at 7:45 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. at Best Western Guildwood Inn - Coffee is served.
• NRG2 (BNG) meets every other Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. at the Dante Club - Coffee is served.
• NRG Lunchtime meets every other Tuesday at 11:45 am - 1:00 pm at Open Grill
