May 6    Coffee Break: Business Networking

Join us for our first Coffee Break: Business Networking event. 

 

A business networking group is a community of like-minded individuals who come together with the purpose of building relationships, sharing knowledge and resources, and promoting each other's businesses. These groups consist of professionals from various industries and backgrounds, who come together to network, share best practices, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

 

The benefits to an individual's professional and personal growth are potentially immeasurable as you work together for the advancement of your businesses and communities. By connecting with other professionals, you gain access to new ideas and perspectives, as well as opportunities to collaborate on projects or refer business to each other. Work collectively as a group to provide valuable resources, such as training and mentorship.

 

Networking groups also provide a supportive community that can help individuals navigate the challenges of running a business or advancing in their careers. Members can receive advice and feedback from their peers, and build relationships with others who understand the unique challenges and opportunities in their respective industries.

 

Come along as we create a new opportunity for business leaders of the Laurentian Chamber of Commerce.

Nov 4    Coffee Break: Business Networking

Join us for our first Coffee Break: Business Networking event. 

 

A business networking group is a community of like-minded individuals who come together with the purpose of building relationships, sharing knowledge and resources, and promoting each other's businesses. These groups consist of professionals from various industries and backgrounds, who come together to network, share best practices, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

 

The benefits to an individual's professional and personal growth are potentially immeasurable as you work together for the advancement of your businesses and communities. By connecting with other professionals, you gain access to new ideas and perspectives, as well as opportunities to collaborate on projects or refer business to each other. Work collectively as a group to provide valuable resources, such as training and mentorship.

 

Networking groups also provide a supportive community that can help individuals navigate the challenges of running a business or advancing in their careers. Members can receive advice and feedback from their peers, and build relationships with others who understand the unique challenges and opportunities in their respective industries.

 

Come along as we create a new opportunity for business leaders of the Laurentian Chamber of Commerce.
